"Cupid with Butterfly" is a painting by the French academic artist William-Adolphe Bouguereau, created in 1891. Bouguereau, known for his traditionalist style, was a prolific painter in the 19th century, celebrated for his realistic portrayal of the human figure and his use of mythological themes. This particular work depicts Cupid, the Roman god of love, often identified with his Greek counterpart Eros, in a moment of innocent interaction with a butterfly, which is a symbol often associated with the soul and transformation.

The painting showcases Bouguereau's mastery of the human form and his ability to convey delicate textures and nuanced expressions. Cupid is rendered with a soft, almost porcelain-like complexion, embodying both the innocence of youth and the mischievous nature of the god of desire. The butterfly, poised on Cupid's hand, adds a sense of lightness and ephemeral beauty to the composition. The interaction between the two figures is tender and intimate, inviting viewers to reflect on the fleeting nature of love and the transformative power of desire.

"Cupid with Butterfly" is a fine example of Bouguereau's work during a period when he enjoyed significant commercial success and critical acclaim. His paintings were highly sought after by art collectors and institutions, and he was awarded numerous medals and honors, including the Legion of Honour. Despite the shift in artistic taste towards modernism at the turn of the 20th century, which led to a decline in Bouguereau's popularity, his work has experienced a resurgence in appreciation in recent decades.

The painting is emblematic of Bouguereau's commitment to classical subjects and traditional techniques, which he defended against the rising tide of Impressionism and other avant-garde movements. "Cupid with Butterfly" remains a testament to Bouguereau's technical skill and his enduring fascination with themes of love, beauty, and mythology.
