"Psyche and Cupid" is a renowned painting by the French artist William-Adolphe Bouguereau, created in 1895. Bouguereau, a prominent figure in French academic painting, is known for his classical and mythological subjects, rendered with a highly polished technique that emphasizes the beauty and idealization of the human form. This work is no exception, as it depicts the mythological romance between Psyche, a mortal woman of extraordinary beauty, and Cupid, the god of love.

The painting illustrates a pivotal moment in the myth where Psyche, having been granted the chance to be with Cupid, is about to look upon his face for the first time, defying his earlier instruction not to do so. The scene captures the tension and emotion of the narrative, with Cupid asleep and Psyche holding a lamp and a knife, symbols of her curiosity and the danger it poses to their love. Bouguereau's mastery of form and composition is evident in the delicate interplay of light and shadow, the soft modeling of the figures, and the intricate detailing of their expressions and the surrounding drapery.

"Psyche and Cupid" is a testament to Bouguereau's skill in bringing classical themes to life with a romantic and sentimental style that appealed to the tastes of the 19th-century bourgeoisie. The painting is a quintessential example of the academic art movement, which valued technical proficiency and historical subjects. It remains a significant work within Bouguereau's oeuvre and continues to be appreciated for its aesthetic qualities and its faithful representation of an enduring myth.
