Additional Information “L'Amour et Psyche, enfants” by William-Adolphe Bouguereau

“Bouguereau gave innocence a form so perfect it becomes almost unbearable — two children sharing the first fragile moment of love.” — Bouguereau: The Painter of Angels, 2007

“The myth of Cupid and Psyche is the myth of love itself — and Bouguereau found its sweetest, most irreducible version in childhood.” — French Academic Painting and Its Legacy

#1. Cupid and Psyche: The Myth. The story of Cupid (Eros) and Psyche is one of the most celebrated love stories of antiquity, told in Apuleius’s The Golden Ass (c.160 AD). The soul (Psyche) wins eternal love through trials and devotion — a myth endlessly retold in Western art.

#2. Children as Pure Symbol. By depicting Cupid and Psyche as children, Bouguereau bypassed the erotic charge of the adult myth and focused on a more innocent tenderness — a choice that made the painting particularly appealing to 19th-century bourgeois collectors who prized sentiment over sensuality.

#3. The Wings of Psyche. In the most familiar versions of the myth, Psyche is given butterfly wings — the Greek word “psyche” means both “soul” and “butterfly.” Bouguereau often depicted Psyche with butterfly wings, reinforcing the connection between the soul and its lightness.
