EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the timeless tale of Cupid and Psyche, beautifully depicted in Francois Edouard Picot's masterpiece from 1817. The image showcases a scene filled with love, adoration, and mythical enchantment. In the foreground, we see the radiant figure of Psyche adorned with a wreath on her head and delicate wings on her back. Her gaze is fixed upon her departing lover, Cupid, who stands at a distance amidst a glowing landscape. The neo-classical architecture surrounding them adds to the romantic ambiance of their parting. The composition is further enhanced by a flowing waterfall cascading down behind Psyche's bed, symbolizing both tranquility and passion. As she lies asleep in peaceful slumber, Cupid glances back at his beloved with an arrow in hand and lyre by his side - weapons of love that he will carry as he leaves. Picot skillfully captures the essence of this mythological tale through his masterful brushwork and attention to detail. Every element within the painting exudes emotions ranging from admiration to lust; it is impossible not to be captivated by its beauty. This print serves as a reminder that even in moments of departure or exhaustion, love prevails. It immortalizes these two lovers' contentment while leaving us yearning for our own amorous adventures.
