Psyche's Parents Offering Sacrifice to Apollo
by GIORDANO, Luca, Oil on copper, 56,2 x 69,2 cm
Psyche honoured by the People and Psyche’s Parents offering Sacrifice to Apollo are consecutive incidents from the beginning of the sequence. They refer respectively to the open acknowledgement of Psyche’s beauty that provokes the initial jealousy of Venus, and the anxiety felt by Psyche’s parents on suspecting that the goddess has been angered.
