Psyche Gallery

Forty-four stained-glass windows (dating from 1540–44) recount the mythological tale of Psyche in Chantilly’s Condé Museum, France. These windowpanes were prepared by the "grisaille" technique with highlights in silver yellow stain on white glass. They relate the history of Psyche. Venus, who wanted to punish Psyche because her beauty offended her, orders her sun Cupid to avenge her. But Cupid falls in love with Pysche. Venus, extremely annoyed, persecutes the two young lovers until Jupiter takes them under his protection. Finally, all of the protagonists are reunited at the banquet of the gods. The photos were taken on April 11, 2009.
