EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 18th century painting by the renowned French artist François Boucher, titled "Psyche and Cupid" by Ecole Francaise, captures a tender and enchanting moment from the mythological tale of love and desire. The scene is set in the quiet stillness of the night, as the angelic figure of Psyche, a mortal woman granted immortality and divinity by the gods, lies asleep. Her peaceful slumber is interrupted by the mischievous and playful Cupid, the god of love, who is discovered in the act of lighting a lamp to illuminate her radiant beauty. The painting, executed in the Rococo style of the Rococo era, is a testament to the French School's mastery of the art of illumination and the use of color to create a luminous and ethereal effect. The warm glow of the lamp casts an otherworldly light upon the naked bodies of the two mythological figures, highlighting their delicate features and the soft curves of their forms. The painting is a captivating exploration of the themes of love, desire, and the passage of time, and is a beloved masterpiece of French heritage art. It is currently housed in the Musée Cognacq-Jay in Paris, where it continues to captivate and inspire visitors from around the world.
