About the piece
Painted in 1657 by Michel Corneille the Elder, this masterful work illustrates a scene from Apuleius's 'The Golden Ass' where a captive young woman is told the story of Cupid and Psyche. The painting is characterized by its rich primary palette, luminous skin tones, and the atmospheric setting of crumbling Roman architecture, reflecting the high Baroque style of the French school.
