“Psyche Bidding Her Family Farewell” was hidden in a private collection for over 200 years. Now the public can see it in person for the first time in centuries at the Legion of Honor museum. (Pst. It's free on Saturday's for Bay Area residents.)
During the French Revolution, artist Marie-Guillemine Benoist set out to prove that women could render history paintings just like the men and created a work to showcase at the Paris Salon of 1791. Following the exhibition, Benoist’s “Psyche Bidding Her Family Farewell” was hidden away in a private collection for over 200 years. On March 24, the Legion of Honor acquired this rare Neoclassical painting to showcase in its main galleries.
