The Story of Psyche: 7. Cupid Carrying Psyche Up to Heaven
by DENIS, Maurice, Oil on canvas, 180 x 265 cm
The monumental canvases depicting episodes in the adventures of Eros, the god of love, and his beloved, the mortal maiden Psyche, were created for the music room of Ivan Morozov’s mansion in Moscow. They are exhibited now in the reconstructed music room in The Hermitage, St. Petersburg.
Panels 6 and 7 of the series show scenes of the now immortal Psyche going to live with the gods.
