"Psyche Et L'amour," also known as "Psyche Receiving the First Kiss of Cupid," is a celebrated painting by the French artist Anne-Louis Girodet de Roucy-Triosson. Completed in 1798, this work is a quintessential example of the Neoclassical style that dominated European art in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Girodet, a student of the renowned painter Jacques-Louis David, imbued the piece with a sense of romanticism and emotional depth that distinguishes it from the more austere works of his mentor.

The painting depicts a moment from the mythological tale of Cupid and Psyche, a story that originates from Apuleius's "Metamorphoses," also known as "The Golden Ass." In this narrative, Psyche, a mortal woman of extraordinary beauty, becomes the object of Cupid's affection. Girodet captures the tender moment when Cupid, the god of love, awakens Psyche with a gentle kiss, symbolizing the awakening of her soul and the beginning of their divine love.

Girodet's use of light and shadow, as well as his meticulous attention to detail, enhances the ethereal quality of the scene. The soft, almost translucent rendering of Psyche's skin contrasts with the more robust and muscular depiction of Cupid, highlighting the interplay between mortal fragility and divine strength. The composition is carefully balanced, with the figures positioned in a harmonious arrangement that draws the viewer's eye to the central act of the kiss.

"Psyche Et L'amour" was well-received upon its debut and remains a significant work in Girodet's oeuvre. It exemplifies the artist's skill in blending classical themes with a romantic sensibility, making it a notable contribution to the art of the period. The painting is housed in the Louvre Museum in Paris, where it continues to be admired for its beauty and emotional resonance.
