EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite artwork of François-Edouard Picot, a renowned French artist from the 18th century. Titled "Cupid with Psyche Extinguishing the Lamp" this piece is a testament to Picot's mastery in capturing delicate emotions and intricate details. In this enchanting scene, Cupid and Psyche take center stage as they navigate the complexities of love. The use of pen and black ink, along with brown and gray washes, adds depth and texture to their ethereal figures. White heightening on brown prepared laid paper further enhances the luminosity of their forms. Picot skillfully portrays Cupid gently extinguishing a lamp held by his beloved Psyche. The composition exudes an air of mystery, inviting viewers to ponder upon the symbolism behind this act. Is it a metaphor for trust or perhaps an allegory for enlightenment? Quint Lox expertly captures every nuance in this stunning print from Liszt Collection. As you gaze at this masterpiece, allow yourself to be transported into a world where myth intertwines with artistry, where love's power is both tender and transformative.
