The Wedding Feast of Cupid and Psyche 1558

This Limoges enamel plaque, created by Pierre Reymond in 1558, depicts the wedding feast of Cupid and Psyche. The scene is set on clouds, with a richly ornamented border. The central figures, Cupid and Psyche, are surrounded by gods and goddesses who celebrate their union. The use of gold and blue enamel gives the plaque a distinctive look, characteristic of Limoges enamel work. The plaque is a beautiful example of the Renaissance era's interest in classical mythology and its rich symbolism. The image highlights the theme of love, marriage, and the union of the divine and human.
