The Union of Love and Friendship, Pierre-Paul Prud'hon, c. 1793,Minneapolis Institute of Art: Paintings
Love and Friendship (personification and symbolic representations) Pierre-Paul Prud'hon was known for his allegorical paintings. The winged youth holding a torch is probably Love, portrayed as the Roman god Cupid, and the female figure would then represent Friendship. The theme is most likely the union of these two ideals, indicated by their embrace. Prud'hon’s inventive allegories often remain enigmatic, however, and other interpretations are possible. The rosy-skinned female figure may personify the art of painting and her pale companion the art of sculpture. Or the two may be Cupid and Psyche, whose love affair is recounted in antique Roman literature.

Psyche Carried Off by the Zephyrs, Pierre-Paul Prud'hon, 1808 or later,Minneapolis Institute of Art: Prints and Drawings
reclining nude female figure carried by winged putti In the story of Cupid and Psyche, Psyche was left by her family on a mountaintop to marry a monstrous groom. But the kindly west winds, the Zephyrs, lifted her up and transported her to Cupid’s palace. Prud’hon’s soft sfumato modeling, lyrical grace, and sensual handling earned him the nickname “the French Correggio,” because of that Italian Renaissance master’s profound influence. Just before beginning this composition, Prud’hon had restored two of Correggio’s mythological paintings, Leda and the Swan and a copy of Jupiter and Io. Both of those unabashedly erotic pictures had been mutilated in the previous century by the son of Philippe, duc d’Orléans, in an insane fit of religious rage. Prud’hon’s intimate study of Correggio is evident in Psyche, one of his most titillating works. Yet Prud’hon created something wholly original—a calculated display of a beautiful (naked) woman in the guise of an ancient story.
