The duel nature of earthly and heavenly love is represented here by the enthusiastic cherubs, who in an intimate moment, are whispering in the charming maiden’s ear causing her to blush with the first pangs of love and awakening desire. Bouguereau’s mischievous cupids are fanning the flames of passion playing with the young women’s heart. French artist Bouguereau was a traditionalist and an Academic whose genre and mythological themes were interpretations of classical subjects with concentration on the female form. The idealized world of Bouguereau paintings brought to life goddesses, nymphs, bathers, shepherdesses and Madonna’s in a way that appealed to the Victorian patrons in France and the United States. The authentic stretched canvas replica painting captures the original work's texture, depth of color, and even its subtle brushstrokes, which are applied by hand exclusively for Design Toscano. Our replica 4.375" wide, European style, bright gold-toned, ribbed frame is cast in quality designer resin with an acanthus leaf and floret border that draws the eye toward the beautiful image.

Proudly printed and framed in the USA using imported molding.
