FRAMING INFORMATION

Le Ravissement de Psyche (The Rapture of Psyche)

William-Adolphe Bouguereau's, The Rapture of Psyche (1895) is an elegant and enamoured study of the mythological figures Cupid and Psyche on their ascent to heaven. His interpretations of Christian and Pagan subjects was immensely appealing to the art-collecting classes of his day, and Bouguereau enjoyed immense success during his lifetime. The Rapture of Pscyhe is a pictorial reproduction of a story from a Latin novel known as 'The Golden Ass' written by Apuleius in the 2nd century. One of the artist's favorite myths, the story of Cupid and Psyche was the subject matter for several of Bouguereau's paintings including Cupid and L'Amour et Psyche, enfants (1890) and Psyche et Cupid (1896). The myth follows the princess Psyche, an object of jealously for the Goddess Venus on account of her radiant looks. In anger, Venus orders her son Cupid to make Psyche fall in love with a beast. Instead, Cupid falls for Psyche. The painting captures the moment when, after a number of tests, obstacles and trials, the gods immortalise Psyche and the pair ascent to heaven where they are married.

Apuleius's novel was rediscovered during the Renaissance and became engrained in the classical consciousness. The couple's union is one beyond the reality of lived experience or human reason, theirs is a relationship of the eternal soul, inspired neither by pagan ritual or Christian dogma. The Rapture of Pscyhe is thus a perfect expression of the primary themes, the staggering skill, and the lofty aspirations of Bouguereau's craft. Perhaps remembering the tragic death of his beloved wife almost twenty years previously, The Rapture of Pscyhe could also be seen a figurative reproduction of the deceased and the artist's fervent hope in the continuation of their love and his belief in a future reunion in heaven.

Finest quality stretching,
gallery wrap or framing

Purchasing without a frame
(unstreched canvas)

When purchasing a painting on its own, it will arrive rolled inside a secure tube with an extra 1.5" of white canvas on all sides so you can easily frame it in any local frame shop.

Purchasing a frame

You may choose to purchase your painting framed, in which case, it will arrive "ready to hang". We offer more than 20 beautiful models, all hand finished and expertly assembled by our experienced framers.

Note that for safety reasons we can only frame up to a certain size. Once the maximum size is reached the framing option is automatically disabled.

Purchasing a Stretching Service

If you are planning to frame your painting yourself, use an existing frame, or frame it locally, you may choose to order your painting with a stretching service, meaning that it will arrive mounted on wooden bars.

Purchasing a Gallery Wrap

If you're considering not framing your painting at all, you may opt for a Gallery Wrap. The term Gallery Wrap refers to the way the canvas is stretched, which is by wrapping it around thick stretcher bars, about 1.5 inch thick, with the canvas being secured to the back rather than the sides of those bars.

Door to door fully insured courier delivery

All orders ship with UPS, FedEx or DHL and will arrive directly to your home or office. A tracking number will be emailed to you as soon as the order leaves our studio so you can track it online. All orders ship express and usually arrive within 4-5 days from the shipping date. Due to shipping restraints, many of our framed, stretched, and oversize paintings may take 6-21 days for arrival depending on the safest route determined by the postal service.
