Illustration nr. 7 til "L`Amour et Psyché" 1862

This is an illustration by Danish artist Lorenz Frølich, created in 1862. It is one of seven illustrations for "L'Amour et Psyché", a tale of love and betrayal from classical mythology, which he rendered in a delicate, detailed style. The work features three female figures, possibly representing the three goddesses Venus, Juno, and Minerva, the story’s central characters. Frølich’s use of light and shadow, and meticulous attention to detail creates a compelling sense of drama and intrigue. This artwork is a prime example of the Romantic period and its fascination with mythological themes, now housed at the Statens Museum for Kunst in Copenhagen.
