"Cupid and Psyche" is an engraving by Francesco Bartolozzi, an Italian engraver and painter known for his works in the stipple and crayon manner. Born in Florence in 1727, Bartolozzi was a prominent figure in the art world of the 18th century, and his engravings gained widespread acclaim for their delicate technique and graceful composition. The subject of "Cupid and Psyche" is drawn from classical mythology, as recounted in "The Golden Ass" by Apuleius, which tells the story of the love between Psyche, a mortal woman of extraordinary beauty, and Cupid, the god of love.

Bartolozzi's "Cupid and Psyche" captures a moment of tender intimacy between the two characters, often highlighting the themes of love, desire, and the trials they endure. The engraving is notable for its fine lines and attention to detail, characteristics that are emblematic of Bartolozzi's style. His work on this piece reflects the neoclassical aesthetic of the time, which favored classical subjects and an emphasis on idealized beauty.

Throughout his career, Bartolozzi produced a vast number of engravings, including works after other artists, such as his reproductions of Guercino's drawings. He was a founding member of the Royal Academy in London and served as the engraver to the king, which further solidified his reputation. "Cupid and Psyche" stands as a testament to Bartolozzi's skill in capturing the essence of mythological narratives and his ability to translate them into intricate engravings that appeal to the viewer's sense of romance and beauty.

The exact date of creation for "Cupid and Psyche" is not universally agreed upon, but it is often attributed to the latter half of the 18th century, a period when Bartolozzi was at the height of his artistic powers. The work remains an important example of Bartolozzi's contribution to the art of engraving and continues to be studied and appreciated for its artistic merit and historical significance.
