Psyche wordt door Mercurius naar Olympus gebracht 1580 - 1626

Bartholomeus Willemsz. Dolendo’s "Psyche wordt door Mercurius naar Olympus gebracht" (Psyche is carried by Mercury to Olympus) depicts a scene from the myth of Cupid and Psyche. The detailed engraving, created sometime between 1580 and 1626, shows the moment Psyche is taken to the home of the gods on Mount Olympus after overcoming trials set by Venus. The work is an example of the artist’s penchant for detailed depictions of classical mythology, and is currently held in the Rijksmuseum.
