 Art History at Loggia | The Abduction of Psyche, by the Artist Adolphe-William Bouguereau
The painting The Abduction of Psyche (which is also known by the French title Le ravissement de Psyché) is one of artist William Bouguereau's most recognizable and famous works.
The Abduction of Psyche was inspired by an episode from Classical mythology, and Bouguereau was certainly not the first to be fascinated by the legend.
It is also worth noting that the composition of The Abduction of Psyche is similar to one of Bouguereau's much earlier works, his beautifully decorative painting The Dance (which is in the collection of the Museé d'Orsay).
