Baptiste Cupid Eros Geese Goose Hera Juno Mythology Naked Psyche Throne Wings Myth

EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting 19th century illustration, by the renowned French artist Jean Baptiste Greuze, captures the essence of classical mythology with an exquisite depiction of Hera (Juno), the Greek goddess of marriage and childbirth, and her mischievous son, Eros (Cupid), the god of love. The scene unfolds on a grand throne, adorned with intricate carvings and draped in rich fabrics, as Hera sits serenely, her regal bearing exuding both power and grace. Eros, the cherubic figure with wings and a quiver full of arrows, hovers playfully over his mother, his mischievous grin hinting at the delight he takes in the game of love. A third figure, believed to be Psyche, the goddess of the soul, is nestled in the center, surrounded by a pair of attentive geese. Psyche, with her delicate features and innocent expression, seems to be in a state of blissful reverie, perhaps under the influence of Eros' enchanting powers. The scene is filled with symbolism and romance, as the gods of love and marriage come together in a tableau of timeless beauty. Greuze's masterful use of light and color, combined with his intricate attention to detail, brings this classical myth to life in a way that continues to captivate and inspire viewers to this day.
