JJ ADAMS - CUPID & PSYCHE Paper Edition
An ancient Roman myth of forbidden love, Cupid and Psyche were never destined to be together but remained so.
A stunningly beautiful girl, Psyche, is born after two older sisters. People throughout the land worship her beauty so deeply that they forget about the goddess Aphrodite.Aphrodite becomes angry that her temples are falling to ruin, so she plots to ruin Psyche. She instructs her son, Cupid, to pierce the girl with an arrow and make her fall in love with the most vile, hideous man alive. But when Cupid sees Psyche in her radiant glory, he shoots himself with the arrow instead.
Figuratively, love (Cupid) and the soul ("psyche" is the Greek word for the soul) belong together in an inseparable union. When Cupid sees Psyche, the soul in its beauty, he immediately wants to join with her. Somehow, this beauty is admired by men but does not lead to the kind of love that eventuates in a marriage proposal. But Cupid is able to fully appreciate Psyche’s beauty.
JJ Adams has transformed this ancient tale which has been depicted by many talented artists before. Taking a renaissance slant to this piece he whisks Cupid and Pysche to the 21st Century.
This Giclee on Paper Limited Edition print is available framed in either a black or white stepped frame glazed with museum quality glass.
