About This Piece

This beautiful engraving of "Cupido and Psyche" by Jean Audran after a work by Antoine Coypel.

Inspired directly by Greek mythology. Psyche is a young human woman with whom Cupid falls madly in love. Unable to be together, Psyche begs Venus to help her but she falls into a deep sleep. The engraving shows the moment when Cupid finds his beloved Psyche asleep and comes to revive her with his arrow. The engraving shows the power of love through a single glance.

Cupido Psychen accurit suam et Suscitat" reads "Cupid comes to the rescue of the beloved Psyche and awakens her".
