Amore e Psiche.

HUGS and happy weekend:)

 

Psyche Revived by Cupid's Kiss (Italian: Amore e Psiche) is a sculpture by Antonio Canova first commissioned in 1787 by Colonel John Campbell.[1] It is regarded as a masterpiece of Neoclassical sculpture, but shows the mythological lovers at a moment of great emotion, characteristic of the emerging movement of Romanticism. It represents the god Cupid in the height of love and tenderness, immediately after awakening the lifeless Psyche with a kiss.
