"Psyche Contemplating the Sleeping Cupid" is a notable painting by the French artist Jean Simon Berthélemy, created in the 18th century. This artwork is steeped in the Neoclassical tradition, which was prevalent during the artist's lifetime, and it depicts a moment from the ancient myth of Psyche and Cupid. The story, derived from "The Golden Ass" by Apuleius, has been a popular subject for artists throughout history, capturing the trials and tribulations of Psyche as she is tested by Venus and ultimately reunited with Cupid.

In Berthélemy's interpretation, the painting captures the intimate and contemplative moment when Psyche gazes upon her lover, Cupid, who lies asleep. The scene is often imbued with a sense of tranquility and the emotional depth of Psyche's love and longing for Cupid. The composition typically emphasizes the contrast between the mortal Psyche's human vulnerability and the divine Cupid's otherworldly beauty and power.

Jean Simon Berthélemy (1743–1811) was an accomplished painter who received his training at the Royal Academy of Painting and Sculpture in Paris. His works are characterized by their adherence to the principles of Neoclassicism, with a strong emphasis on clarity of form, smooth painting technique, and the use of classical themes and subjects. "Psyche Contemplating the Sleeping Cupid" is a testament to Berthélemy's skill in capturing the essence of classical mythology through the medium of paint, and it remains an important work within his oeuvre.

The painting's historical and artistic significance lies not only in its representation of a timeless myth but also in its reflection of the Neoclassical ideals of beauty, emotion, and moral virtue. As such, it continues to be studied and admired for its aesthetic qualities and its place within the broader context of 18th-century European art.
