Earlier in the week, I began reading "Till We Have Faces" by C. S. Lewis.
It's a retelling of the Greek myth of Cupid and Psyche. I've always loved seeing how artists portray various characters (like those in Greek mythology, as well as Bible stories, etc). I fell in love with these two below paintings of Cupid and Psyche.
They're both by William Bouguereau.
I really like that she was painted with butterfly wings.
Psyche is the Greek word for "butterfly".
Aren't they enchanting?
I've never heard of that story, but I love Greek mythology as well! I used to read them when I was younger, maybe I'll look this up, thanks for the tip!
