About the piece
Created by Nicolas Bertin in the early 18th century, this evocative oil painting captures the legendary tale of Psyche and Cupid. The composition is filled with movement, from the swirling clouds to the graceful ascent of the winged figures, all rendered with a sophisticated palette of blues, ochres, and deep reds. This work represents the height of French classical storytelling and theatrical elegance.
