EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite statue captures the timeless tale of Eros and Psyche, a mythological love story that has captivated audiences for centuries. Eros, the Greek god of love, is depicted here in his divine form, with the perfect physique of a god and the piercing gaze of one who holds the power to inspire deep passion. Psyche, his beloved, is shown lying in his embrace, her eyes closed in blissful surrender. The myth of Eros and Psyche dates back to ancient Greece, where it was first recorded in the Metamorphoses by the Roman poet Ovid. According to the story, Psyche was a mortal woman of extraordinary beauty, who was visited each night by the god of love himself. Unbeknownst to Psyche, her mysterious nightly visitor was Eros, who had fallen in love with her without revealing his identity. Despite the warnings of the gods, Psyche's curiosity got the better of her, and she attempted to see the face of her lover. Discovering Eros' true identity, she was initially filled with fear and doubt. But with the help of Venus, the goddess of love, and the intervention of Eros himself, Psyche was eventually accepted into the pantheon of gods and granted immortality. This statue beautifully encapsulates the essence of their love story - the power of passion, the courage to overcome fear, and the transformative power of acceptance. The intricate details of the sculpture, from the delicate folds of Psyche's robe to the muscular definition of Eros' form, serve as a testament to the skill and artistry of the artist. This timeless myth continues to inspire and captivate us, and this statue is a stunning reminder of the enduring power of love.
