Neoclassical artist Francois Edouard Picot enjoyed his most productive period during the reign of Louis Philippe I. Picot’s Cupid and Psyche won his fellow artist acclaim and established him as an Academic painter. In this Mixed-Media work, we see the god of love leaving the bed of his lover Psyche in a sublime rendering of the ancient tale.
