'The Abduction of Psyche' miniature fine art

funfact storytime: Bouguereau’s famous depiction of Cupid and Psyche, a princess whose beauty made Venus so jealous that the goddess ordered Cupid to make Psyche fall in love with a monster. Instead, Cupid accidentally stuck himself with his own arrow, & fell for Psyche himself. He married her, locked her in a tower and only visited her at night, all while hiding his identity? but then abandoned her after she tricked him into revealing who he is. To find him again, Psyche endured a series of seemingly impossible trials imposed by Venus. After the final task left Psyche in a coma, Cupid rescued her and convinced Jupiter to make her immortal. This classical art rendering is him carrying her into the divine realm, hand-burned on 3.5x5 inch basswood and sealed w/ matte polyurethane to ensure longevity.
