"Cléonis Et Cydippe" is an 1843 oil painting by Charles Gleyre, a Swiss-born artist known for his academic Neoclassical style. The painting depicts a scene from Greek mythology, with the figures of Cléonis and Cydippe, a young couple, depicted in a lush, idyllic forest setting. This work is considered a prime example of Gleyre's Neoclassical style, featuring a focus on idealized forms, precise detail, and a sense of calm and serenity.
