Introduction:

I want to tell you more about Cupid and Psyche Sculpture of the resurrection. It was made by Canova in 1793 and can be seen in Louvre.

Cupid’s resurrection of the soul was a sculpture commissioned by Antonio Canova in 1787 by Colonel John Campbell. It is considered a masterpiece of neoclassical sculpture, but it manifests mythical emotions in the character of the Romantic emerging movement.

It represents God Cupid’s love and gentleness, awakening the lifeless soul after a kiss. Cupid and Psyche’s story is taken from the Latin novel of Lucius Apuleius, The Golden Ass, and is very popular in art.

Because Cupid’s kiss raised Psyche, Canova’s inspiration came from the Roman painting he visited in 1787 in Herculaneum. The artist has done a lot of research (painting and small models). The role leg forms a pyramid-shaped volume that stabilizes the composition of the rock.

The composition is spinning. In fact, from Cupid’s right foot, the movement follows the ascension of the soul’s arm. The last movement showed that she was resurrecting.

The vertical dimension of the wings highlights this upward movement. There is space between the two surfaces, but the perceptual tension is the largest. Because of the way marble works, this sculpture gives an impression of life. Canova leaves some tool marks on the marble. These marks give the light an opportunity to play on marble and reflect in different ways.

Cupid and Psyche are part of a myth from the 2nd century AD written by Apuleius. Psyche was a beautiful woman. Men forgot Venus to honor Psyche’s beauty. Venus became jealous and ordered that the ugliest man would marry her. But Cupid, Venus’ son, abducted Psyche.

This Cupid and Psyche Sculpture was an immediate success. It was made to be seen from different angles, its stand was even able to rotate with the help of a handle. Canova gave the plaster model to his favorite student, Adamo Tadolini, who made some changes to it.

This plaster model is preserved in the Metropolitan Museum of Art. All the replicas made at that time came from the modified plaster model.
