Maurice Denis's 'Panel 3. Psyche Discovers that Her Mysterious Lover is Eros' captures the moment Psyche reveals Cupid's divine identity. This oil on canvas work blends classical mythology with Symbolist aesthetics, rendered in soft colours and flowing lines.
This oil on canvas work by Maurice Denis (1870-1943), a French painter associated with the Symbolist movement and Les Nabis, depicts a scene from the classical myth of Cupid and Psyche. Specifically, it shows the moment Psyche disobeys Cupid's command and uses a lamp to look upon his face while he sleeps, thus discovering his true identity as the god Eros. This is one of a series of panels illustrating the story. The composition is vertically oriented, showing an interior scene dominated by a large bed. Psyche, holding a lamp, gazes at the sleeping Cupid. Above the bed, a circular panel shows a group of dancing figures, rendered in a classical style. Outside the window, buildings are visible, suggesting an urban setting. The colour palette is muted, with soft blues, pinks, and yellows creating a dreamlike atmosphere. The figures are rendered with smooth, flowing lines, typical of Denis's style, which aimed to evoke emotion and spirituality rather than strict realism. The painting blends classical mythology with a modern, Symbolist sensibility.

Beautiful print, great quality and love it with the white frame. Delivery was really fast. I've had loads of compliments from visitors as I've hung it in my hallway as the first thing you see when you enter the house. Couldn't be happier.
