EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the timeless masterpiece "Cupid and Psyche" sculpted by Antonio Canova in 1796. The delicate marble sculpture, measuring a mere 13 cm in height, is housed within the prestigious State Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg, Russia. The image captures the essence of love and passion as it depicts Cupid and Psyche locked in an eternal embrace. With their wings gracefully spread behind them, these mythical lovers are caught at a poignant moment - their lips almost touching as they share a tender kiss. Canova's masterful craftsmanship breathes life into this scene of undying affection. The intricate details of each figure's form convey both strength and vulnerability simultaneously; Cupid's muscular physique contrasts with Psyche's delicate beauty. In this evocative composition, we witness not only the power of love but also its ability to save lives. As legend has it, Psyche was once on the brink of death until Cupid intervened to revive her with his divine touch. This exquisite artwork transcends time and space, reminding us that true love knows no boundaries or limitations. It serves as a testament to Canova's artistic genius and his ability to capture complex emotions within cold stone. As we gaze upon this remarkable photograph from Bridgeman Images' collection, we cannot help but be moved by the profound connection between these two immortal souls – forever entwined through their shared amour
