"Psyche Discovers Cupid" is a notable painting by the Flemish Renaissance artist Michiel Coxie I, also known as Michiel van Coxcie or Michiel Coxie the Elder. Born in 1499, Coxie was a prominent figure in the Northern Renaissance, often referred to as the "Flemish Raphael" due to his mastery of Italianate style and his significant influence on the art of his time. His works are characterized by their meticulous detail, vibrant color palette, and the seamless integration of classical themes with Northern European artistic traditions.

The painting "Psyche Discovers Cupid" draws its subject matter from the ancient Roman novel "Metamorphoses" (also known as "The Golden Ass") by Apuleius. The story of Cupid and Psyche is one of the most enduring and beloved myths from classical antiquity, symbolizing the trials and ultimate triumph of love. In this particular scene, Psyche, driven by curiosity and doubt, illuminates her divine lover Cupid with a lamp, only to accidentally awaken him, leading to a series of trials she must endure to be reunited with him.

Coxie's rendition of this mythological moment is a testament to his skill in capturing human emotion and narrative drama. The composition is carefully balanced, with Psyche's figure illuminated by the soft glow of the lamp, highlighting her beauty and the tension of the moment. The use of light and shadow, along with the detailed rendering of textures and expressions, showcases Coxie's technical prowess and his ability to convey complex psychological states.

The painting not only reflects Coxie's deep understanding of classical literature and mythology but also his ability to infuse these timeless stories with a sense of immediacy and emotional depth. "Psyche Discovers Cupid" stands as a significant example of Coxie's contribution to the Renaissance movement, blending the intellectual rigor of classical themes with the rich, expressive qualities of Northern European art.
