Antonio da Trento's "Psyche als godin aanbeden door het volk" (1520-1602) is a print depicting the Greek myth of Psyche. The print shows Psyche, now a goddess, being worshiped by the people. The scene is set in a public square, with buildings in the background and a temple visible behind Psyche. The figures are drawn in a realistic style, with attention to detail in their clothing and expressions. The composition of the print is balanced, with Psyche at the center and the figures surrounding her forming a circle. The print is a good example of Renaissance art, with its emphasis on classical themes and its use of perspective. The drawing's simple, elegant lines are characteristic of the style of drawing favored by 16th-century artists in the Veneto region, and its size suggests it was intended for a personal collection.
