Cupid and Psyche 18 x 19 cm

This bonded bronze replica captures Psyche Revived by Cupid’s Kiss, Antonio Canova’s 18th-century Neoclassical masterpiece. The sculpture portrays Cupid, (or Eros in greek) tenderly embracing Psyche, awakening her with a kiss after she fell into a deep slumber from opening a forbidden box of beauty from the underworld. Their passionate moment, full of movement and delicate detail, symbolizes love’s triumph over obstacles. Originally commissioned in 1787 by Colonel John Campbell, the original marble version is housed in the Louvre Museum, Paris. This finely detailed replica preserves Canova’s elegance, showcasing the myth’s romance and the artist’s masterful ability to depict emotion and fluidity.
