Cupid and Psyche Statue

Cupid and Psyche statue reduction, after the famous masterpiece of Antonio Canova, the statue of Psyche Revived by Cupid's Kiss (In Italian Amore e Psiche). The prime sculpture was first commissioned in 1787 by Colonel John Campbell, and now is regarded as a masterpiece of the romantic Neoclassicism characteristic of Canova, showing the mythological lovers at a moment of great emotion, characteristic of the emerging movement of Romanticism. The statue represents the god Cupid in the height of love and tenderness, immediately after awakening the lifeless Psyche with a kiss. The story of Cupid and Psyche is taken from Lucius Apuleius' Latin novel The Golden Ass (Late 2nd century AD). The first or prime version is located in the Louvre Museum in Paris, France.


BONDED MARBLE

Our bonded marble sculptures are crafted using a blend of white Carrara marble powder and designer resin as the binding material. This unique combination allows for incredible detail and precision in every piece. Each sculpture is meticulously hand-finished to achieve a fine matte surface, giving it a unique bisque porcelain texture.



SOLID ALABASTER BASE

Each sculpture is mounted on a solid alabaster base, chosen for its natural beauty and distinctive character. Alabaster, a fine-grained, translucent stone, is known for its soft, diffused glow when exposed to light, adding a subtle depth to the sculpture above. Its smooth, polished surface contrasts elegantly with the matte, biscuit porcelain-like texture of the artwork, creating a balanced and harmonious presentation.
