An oil painting titled "The Abduction of Psyche", also known as "The Rapture of Psyche", was painted in 1895 by William-Adolphe Bouguereau.
The work of Bouguereau inspired by the mythology of Cupid and Psyche, shows Psyche ascending to heaven with Cupid, highlighting his love for the romantic and the classic. Both characters, of idealized beauty, symbolize the transition from the earthly to the divine, encapsulating a moment of transformation and hope. The scene illustrates an instant of relief filled with emotion as Psyche heads towards a new existence.
Currently this painting belongs to a private gallery and is not exhibited to the public.
