The full painting, of which this is a detail, is reproduced on pages 38-39. It hangs (all 70 by 8o inches of it) in a heavy gold frame in the Titian Room in the unique museum at Fenway Court, which Mrs. Gardner left to her fellow Bostonians when she died in 1924. The story of the acquisition of this master- piece along with many others sought after by the original and redoubtable "Mrs. Jack" is told in the article "Mrs. Gardner's Palace of Paintings," beginning on page 26. FRONTISPIECE: The tender romance of Cupid and Psyche is the central theme of this fragile Meissen "Temple of Love," conceived in the gay rococo spirit of eighteenth- century Europe. Behind the lovers, Venus rides her peacock on swirling clouds while cherubic putti above the flowered columns represent the seasons and those below bear decorative shields. The forty-six-inch-high centerpiece was designed by Johann Joachim Kandler in 1750 and is now in the porcelain collection of the Museum für Kunsthand- werk, Frankfurt-am-Main.
