Engraved on three copper plates, the vast composition represents the wedding banquet of Cupid, the god of love, and Psyche, his mortal bride, who was granted divine status by Jupiter. Near the center, Bacchus pours wine, while Apollo and his musicians serenade the numerous guests, whose elegant twisting and turning poses evoke Spranger’s stylish aesthetic. An architecture of rolling clouds, created by the rich patterns of Goltzius’s swelling and tapering lines, supports and surrounds the celestial figures. The scene resembles the feast of a lavish royal court, appropriate for an image dedicated to one of Rudolf’s high officials.","remarks":"K1-3 rotation may 2019, (see K1-3 Gallery Rotation October 2015 pdf for similar text) "}],"datebegin":1587,"sortnumber":"1934  686x","published_date":"2026-03-05 09:21:11.979822","objectid":47696,"dimensions":"plate (sheet trimmed to plate): 43.3 × 85.5 cm (17 1/16 × 33 11/16 in.)\r\nframe: 70 × 111 × 3.2 cm (27 9/16 × 43 11/16 × 1 1/4 in.)","on_view":false}
