The Story of Psyche: panel 7. Cupid Carrying Psyche Up to Heaven 1908

This painting by Maurice Denis, "The Story of Psyche: panel 7. Cupid Carrying Psyche Up to Heaven," is a Symbolist artwork that depicts the moment when Cupid carries Psyche to heaven. It is a part of a series of seven panels created in 1908, and is a prime example of the artist's use of color and light to convey emotion and symbolism. Denis's artwork is on display at the Hermitage Museum in Saint Petersburg, Russia. The graceful lines of the figures, bathed in soft light, evoke a sense of otherworldly beauty and the timeless power of love. This painting, along with the other panels in the series, exemplifies the beauty and passion of the Symbolist movement.
