About the piece
Painted in 1767, Louis-Jean-François Lagrenée’s depiction of Cupid and Psyche is a refined example of French Neoclassicism. The work emphasizes the intimate connection between the god of love and the mortal Psyche, using masterful lighting to contrast their luminous forms against a backdrop of deep shadows and heavy, colorful textiles. Its balanced composition and mythological subject matter bring a sense of classical elegance and serenity to any space.
