Cupid and Psyche 1630

Orazio Gentileschi's "Cupid and Psyche" (1630) depicts the mythological tale of the god of love, Cupid, and Psyche, a mortal woman. This painting is a prime example of Baroque style, capturing the dramatic interaction between the two figures through vibrant color and dynamic composition. The emotional intensity of the scene is heightened by the intimate setting and the interplay of light and shadow, showcasing Gentileschi's masterful use of chiaroscuro.
