"The Lover Crowned" is a renowned painting by the French artist François Boucher, a leading proponent of the Rococo style that dominated European art and design in the 18th century. Completed in 1773, this work is part of a series of six paintings known as "The Story of the Loves of Psyche and Cupid," which were commissioned by Madame de Pompadour, the influential mistress of King Louis XV and a prominent patron of the arts.

Measuring 318 cm by 274 cm, "The Lover Crowned" is a large oil on canvas that depicts a scene from the classical tale of Cupid and Psyche as recounted by the Latin author Apuleius in his work "The Golden Ass." The painting illustrates the moment of Psyche's apotheosis, where she is crowned by Cupid, symbolizing her acceptance into the pantheon of the gods and the consummation of their love. This theme of romantic love and divine acceptance was a popular subject in Rococo art, reflecting the era's fascination with mythology, sensuality, and the aesthetics of pleasure.

Boucher's mastery of the Rococo style is evident in the painting's soft pastel colors, fluid lines, and the delicate rendering of the figures' skin and drapery. The composition is characterized by a sense of movement and lightness, with the figures arranged in a dynamic yet harmonious ensemble that draws the viewer's eye across the canvas. The idyllic landscape in the background, complete with lush foliage and a distant temple, adds to the painting's dreamlike quality and reinforces the theme of idealized love.

"The Lover Crowned" is celebrated for its embodiment of the Rococo spirit and Boucher's skillful execution. It remains an important work in the study of 18th-century French art and continues to be admired for its beauty and historical significance. The painting is held in the collection of the Louvre Museum in Paris, where it is displayed as part of the museum's extensive holdings of European paintings.
