EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the timeless beauty of Antonio Canova's masterpiece, "Cupid and Psyche". Created between 1800-03, this marble sculpture is housed in the State Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg, Russia. The image showcases the exquisite neoclassical artistry of Canova, who expertly crafted every delicate detail. In this scene from Greek mythology, Cupid and Psyche are depicted in a tender embrace that symbolizes love and grace. Their nakedness represents vulnerability and purity while emphasizing their divine connection. A butterfly delicately perches on Psyche's hand, representing her soul or transformation. Canova's skillful use of marble brings these mythological figures to life with astonishing realism. The intricate details highlight the artist's dedication to capturing human form and emotion. The composition exudes an allegorical quality as it explores themes of beauty, love, and desire. It transports viewers into a world where gods mingle with mortals on Mount Olympus—a realm where divinity meets humanity. This photograph by Ghigo Roli beautifully preserves Canova's artistic genius for generations to admire. Its rich historical context combined with its aesthetic appeal makes it a remarkable addition to any art collection or exhibition dedicated to celebrating classical masterpieces like "Cupid and Psyche.
