PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

This premium wooden framed print captures the timeless myth of Amore and Psiche as depicted in Ostia Antica. 

Expertly reproduced, it highlights the classical artistry and rich symbolism of this ancient tale, making it an ideal piece for those who appreciate historical mythology and refined decor. The high-quality frame enhances its presence, offering a sophisticated addition to any collection or interior space.

OUR NARRATIVE

The story of Amore and Psiche has inspired artists since the fourth century BC. Psiche was a mortal woman of extraordinary beauty, and draws the admiration and sometimes workship of others; the “second coming of Venus”. Of course, Venus was offended.
Venus dispatches her son Cupid to exact her revenge upon Psiche; the ancient gods could be jealous and capricious. The plan was to shoot Psiche with his arrow, making her fall in love with something hideous, but Cupid scratched himself with his arrow at the crucial moment and falls in love with her himself.
The only extended version of this story that has survived comes from the second century AD, and this wonderful sculptural group is from Ostia Antica and dates from the fourth century AD.
