Cupid and Psyche is a 1789 history painting by the British artist Joshua Reynolds. It depicts a scene from the story of Cupid and Psyche in Ancient Greek Mythology. Based on the work Metamorphoses by the Roman historian Apuleius it depicts the moment when the mortal Psyche discovers that her mysterious lover is Cupid, the son of the goddess Venus. The subject was a popular one in European art. Unusually Reynolds focuses attention on Cupid rather than the physical beauty of Psyche, and portrays him as a skinny boy.
