"Cupid and Psyche 1798" is a renowned painting by the French artist Baron François Gérard, a prominent figure in Neoclassical painting. This work, completed in 1798, is a masterful representation of the mythological tale of Cupid and Psyche, which has been a popular subject among artists for centuries. The story, derived from "The Golden Ass" by Apuleius, a Latin novel from the 2nd century AD, revolves around the love between Cupid, the god of desire, and Psyche, a mortal woman of extraordinary beauty.

Gérard's interpretation of the tale is imbued with the Neoclassical ideals of harmony, clarity, and restraint, while also capturing the emotional intensity of the narrative. The painting depicts the moment of tender reunion between the lovers, following a series of trials and tribulations that Psyche endures to prove her love and fidelity to Cupid. The composition is characterized by its soft color palette, delicate use of light, and the graceful figures of Cupid and Psyche, which reflect the influence of Gérard's mentor, Jacques-Louis David, as well as the broader trends in French art of the period.

The artwork is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its cultural impact, as it encapsulates the Enlightenment's fascination with classical antiquity and the humanistic values associated with it. "Cupid and Psyche 1798" has been widely studied and admired for its aesthetic qualities and its embodiment of the Neoclassical style, which sought to revive the principles of ancient Greek and Roman art. The painting remains an important piece in the oeuvre of François Gérard and continues to be celebrated in art historical discourse for its contribution to the canon of Western art.
