Amor, der vækkes af Psyche 1796

"Amor, der vækkes af Psyche" (1796) by Nicolaus Wolff depicts the mythological tale of Cupid and Psyche. In this painting, the Greek goddess Psyche, holding a lamp, is shown awakening Cupid, the god of love, from his slumber. Wolff's portrayal of this classical subject highlights the delicate beauty of the figures and the dramatic use of light. The work is a fine example of Danish Neoclassicism, a style that emphasized clarity, balance, and reason in art.
