“Cupid and Psyche” by Antonio Canova

The Neoclassical statue of “Cupid and Psyche” was carved by Antonio Canova in 1787 and is located in the Louvre Museum in Paris, France. The romantic sculpture depicts Cupid cradling the head of his lover after reviving her from a supernatural slumber, as she reaches up to him preparing to receive a kiss. Not surprisingly, it is one of history’s most beautiful and popular statues. Buona visione!
