EDITORS COMMENTS
Charles Le Brun's masterpiece, "Psyche begs Juno's Protection," painted between 1652 and 1655, captures the poignant moment of mythological figures Psyche and Juno in the Musee Carnavalet, Paris. In this Baroque era oil painting, Psyche, a mortal woman, is depicted on her knees, imploring the protective gaze of the goddess Juno, who stands tall and regal, her expression a blend of curiosity and compassion. During Roman mythology, Juno, the queen of the gods, was known for her jealous and vengeful nature. However, in this scene, she extends her protective hand towards Psyche, who was granted immortality after undergoing numerous trials and tribulations. The colorful and intricately detailed painting showcases the rich heritage of French art during the seventeenth century. The two figures are set against a dark background, with Juno's golden robes and Psyche's delicate white gown providing a striking contrast. The use of light and shadow adds depth and dimension to the painting, making it a captivating work of art that continues to intrigue and inspire viewers. Le Brun's "Psyche begs Juno's Protection" is a testament to the enduring power of mythology and the human desire for protection and divine intervention. This painting, now housed in the Musee Carnavalet, is a must-see for anyone interested in the history of art, mythology, or the Baroque era.
