What the museum label doesn't tell you
Look at the two trees. On the left, a dense dark canopy shelters the meeting of Cupid and Psyche like a living curtain. On the right, a bare, twisted trunk stands against a clearing sky, dead. Van Dyck painted this in 1639-40, with less than a year left to live - his last known mythological work, the only one to survive from his years as court painter to Charles I. That dead branch isn't just scenery, it's a clock set beside a love just beginning. Coincidence, or a painter's quiet farewell?
