"The Wedding of Psyche" is a celebrated painting by Sir Edward Coley Burne-Jones, a preeminent figure of the Pre-Raphaelite movement in the late 19th century. This artwork is part of a series that illustrates the narrative of Cupid and Psyche, as recounted in "The Golden Ass" by Apuleius, a Latin novel from the 2nd century. Burne-Jones's fascination with classical mythology and his commitment to the ideals of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood are vividly expressed in this series, which is renowned for its intricate detail, vibrant color palette, and emotional depth.

Completed in the late 19th century, "The Wedding of Psyche" depicts the culminating moment of Psyche's long and arduous journey—a journey that was both physical and spiritual. After enduring numerous trials set by Venus, the goddess of love, in her quest to reunite with her lover Cupid, Psyche is finally granted immortality by Jupiter, the king of the gods, allowing her to wed Cupid in a divine ceremony. Burne-Jones's rendition of this mythological event is imbued with a sense of ethereal beauty and profound symbolism, reflecting the artist's interest in themes of love, redemption, and the transcendent power of art.

The painting is characterized by its meticulous attention to detail and the use of rich, luminous colors, which enhance the dreamlike quality of the scene. Burne-Jones's skillful composition and the emotional resonance of his figures highlight his mastery of narrative painting and his ability to convey complex stories through visual means. "The Wedding of Psyche" is not only a testament to Burne-Jones's technical prowess but also to his philosophical and aesthetic vision, which sought to elevate the role of beauty and imagination in the modern world.

As a key work in Burne-Jones's oeuvre, "The Wedding of Psyche" has been the subject of extensive scholarly attention and is celebrated for its contribution to the revival of interest in classical mythology and its influence on the development of Symbolism and Aestheticism in late 19th-century art. The painting is held in high regard for its artistic and historical significance, representing a pinnacle of Pre-Raphaelite art and embodying the movement's enduring legacy.
