Item# FAM-DA5571

$189.00 – $450.00

The First Kiss, which is also known as Amor and Psyche, is the beloved painting by French artist Bouguereau. Angel Cupid plants the kiss of love on an unsuspecting Psyche, whose soul takes wing in the form of a butterfly just as she succumbs to the sweetness of new infatuation. In this Neoclassical romantic image, soft blue swirling clouds, fluttering youthful angel wings and chubby cherubic cheeks are characteristic of this mythological interpretation of the power of love. 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.

  • About The Artist

      William-Adolphe Bouguereau (1825-1905)
      William had a long successful career as an academic painter exhibiting in the annual Paris Salons for more than 50 years. His paintings of religious mythological and genre subjects were carefully composed and painstakingly finished. Thus he opposed the admission of works by the impressionists to the Salon because he believed that their paintings were no more than unfinished sketches. After a period of neglect following his death Bouguereau's paintings were returned to view as part of a renewed interest in and reappraisal of academic painting and of Ecole des Beaux-Arts works in general. A major retrospective exhibition opened in Paris and was seen in Montreal and Hartford Connecticut in 1984.
