Cupid and Psyche: Psyche and Juno
1880
Max Klinger's etching "Cupid and Psyche: Psyche and Juno" depicts a moment from Apuleius's classical narrative in which the mortal Psyche seeks aid from the goddess Juno during her trials. Klinger employs the etching medium to create intricate tonal variations and fine linear details characteristic of his late 19th century Symbolist approach. The composition captures the dramatic encounter between the divine and human figures, emphasizing psychological tension through expressive line work and atmospheric effects.
