EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "The Marriage of Cupid and Psyche, 1797" takes us back to the enchanting world of Greek mythology. Created by an unknown artist and illustrated by George Paston (pseudonym of Emily Morse Symonds), this monochrome masterpiece beautifully captures the allegorical figures of Cupid and Psyche in their timeless union. In this 18th-century depiction, we witness the mythical figure of Cupid, a cherubic embodiment of love itself, joining hands with his beloved Psyche. The delicate lines and intricate details bring out the ethereal beauty of these characters as they come together in marriage. Surrounding them are putti or cherubs, symbolizing innocence and purity. As we delve into Greek mythology through this artwork, we are reminded of the enduring power of love that transcends time. The concept behind this piece explores not only the union between two mythical beings but also speaks to our own desires for lasting love and connection. "The Marriage of Cupid and Psyche" is a visual feast for art enthusiasts who appreciate both classical themes and masterful execution. This print serves as a reminder that even centuries later, ancient tales continue to inspire artists like George Paston to create works that evoke emotions within us all.
