Psyche Abducted by the Zephyrs (1808)

Pierre-Paul Prud’hon: Psyche Abducted by the Zephyrs

This painting of Prud’hon (wonderful light/dark contrast here) depicts the mythological tale of the abduction of Psyche by the Zephyrs (winds) at the command of Eros (Cupid).

An informative essay about this painting and the painter is here.
