About the Artwork

“Cupid and Psyche” by Jacques-Louis David, painted in 1817, is a captivating masterpiece that weaves together myth, passion, and realism. The painting depicts the timeless love story of Cupid and Psyche, a tale that originates from Apuleius’s Metamorphoses. Psyche, a mortal of unparalleled beauty, incurs the wrath of Venus due to her allure. As punishment, Venus tasks her son, Cupid, with causing Psyche’s demise. However, Cupid falls deeply in love with Psyche, leading to a clandestine romance. David’s portrayal deviates from convention, emphasizing realism over idealization. The figure of Cupid, with an awkward teenage countenance, surprises viewers with its lifelike quality. Two butterflies, symbols of transformation, flutter near the slumbering Psyche, adding depth to the narrative.
