The Abduction of Psyche is an oil painting, on canvas by artist William-Adolphe Bouguereau in 1895. Psyche was the youngest daughter of a Greek king and queen, with two elder sisters. She was so beautiful that people, together with priests, compared her to Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of love and beauty. a large number went to the extent of saying that she was even fairer than the goddess. When Aphrodite's temples were deserted because people started worshiping Psyche, the goddess was enraged. As a punishment, she sent her son, Eros, to make Psyche fall in love with a vile and ugly person. However, Eros fell in love when he saw her and was determined to spare her from his mother's anger.

Both of her elder sisters were envious of her beauty. Her sisters eventually married kings and left to be with their husbands. Nobody asked for Psyche's hand for marriage; men would rather praise her beauty. She was left alone. distressed, her father decided to consult the oracle of Delphi for answers. Reads more

Reproduction of oil painting is very expensive and a time taking process. The completed painting requires at least a week for drying completely. After that, we apply two layers of protective coating to secure the painting from dust and mold. Only completely dried painting can apply a coating or the painting will be damaged. The process of painting may take more than 4 weeks to 6 weeks based on the size and complexity.

For stretching, We will add a 1.6" additional white canvas border on all four sides for stretching purposes. We do not provide stretched canvas due to several issues. We cannot take the risk of damage while shipping. Also, there are size limitations for sending framed canvas. Shipping a large-sized stretched canvas might cost more than a painting itself. So we suggest you find a nearby local shop for the framing process.
