Mercury and Psyche 

This etching, "Mercury and Psyche," by Giovanni Battista Piranesi, depicts the Roman god Mercury guiding the mortal Psyche towards her divine destiny. Piranesi, a master of architectural engravings and a prominent figure of the Neoclassical era, presents the figures in a dynamic composition, emphasizing their flight with flowing drapery and a soaring dove overhead. The detail in their anatomy and the subtle expressions on their faces further contribute to the compelling narrative.
