Eros and Psycheby ~Jennifurret

Traditional Art / Drawings / Portraits & Figures

Scene from the love story of Eros and Psyche where Psyche betrays Eros' trust and discovers who her husband really is. Yet another member of my greek mythology portfolio. I know this one doesn't look very "mythological" and you don't really know what's happening unless you know the story, but that's what I like about it. I wanted to do a piece where you weren't immediately thinking, "Hey, that's that one story where blah blah blah..." Again, photo isn't the greatest, but I just discovered the screen of my camera broke, so I was blindly taking pictures (jeez, what did we do before digital?). The colors in the original are a lot richer...tried to fiddle with it to get it similar, but it's still not perfect. Oh well. This is small enough to scan, but it needs to get some stronger fixative on it before I attempt that.

Pastels, 11" by 10"

I knew what this story this was from when I saw it! You did such a good job on it. I love this part!

~Jennifurret Jun 23, 2006

Yay! I'm glad you recognized it - not many people do. A lot think it's Romeo and Juliet or something similar. Thanks!

Thanks. Yeah, I see what you're saying...I wish I would have left a little space to the right of his head.

cool piece, love the use of colours, the paleness does have an ancient look to it, great work

Haven't heard the story but really liek this painting
for some reason makes me think of betrayal and innocence :S

~Jennifurret Apr 13, 2006

Thanks! You're basically right. Eros, a god, swept Psyche away to his castle and married her, but remained invisible to her until he had her trust. Pysche was treated wonderfully, but people started to persuade her that her invisible husband was really just a monster fattening her up. One night when he was asleep she went to his rooms with a candle to peek, which he had strictly forbidden, and was shocked find out she was married to a god. He ended up waking up and feeling betrayed, huffing around for a bit and sicking his mom Aphrodite on her for a while, but then he realized he really did love her and they lived happily ever after.
