Venus and Psyche 

This etching, "Venus and Psyche," depicts the Roman goddess Venus and the mortal Psyche. The figures are portrayed in a delicate and idealized manner, floating on clouds amidst a graceful arrangement of birds. Giovanni Battista Piranesi, renowned for his architectural prints, also created works of art that showcased classical mythology, as seen in this detailed and elegant piece. This etching is a beautiful example of the artist’s skill in translating the classical stories into the medium of printmaking.
