Product information "Antonio Canova: Sculpture 'Cupid and Psyche' (1793), reduction in artificial marble"
Canova's most famous group of sculptures is probably the most graceful depiction of the well-known mythical love story: Cupid bends tenderly over Psyche and with his wings chases away the death-like sleep into which Psyche had fallen due to a trick of the jealous Aphrodite. Blissfully, his lover reaches out to kiss him. The great love between the god and the beautiful princess moved even the Olympian gods: Zeus granted Psyche immortality so that both could become a symbol of eternal love that would outlast all the storms of time. Original: marble sculpture, 155 x 168 cm. Musée du Louvre, Paris. Reduction. Size 37 x 20 x 39 cm. Edition as ars mundi museum replica, moulded by hand in white, polymer-bonded artificial marble.
