Amor and Psyche is a marble neoclassical statue by the Italian sculptor Antonio Canova. He started work on the statue in 1787 but did not complete it until 1793.
The image shows Cupid (Amor) just after he has kissed Psyche awake. This is a scene from The Golden Ass (Metamorphoses) by the Latin writer Lucius Apuleius Madaurensis.
It is one of six sculptures that Canova made about the legend of Amor and Psyche. The statue now stands in the Louvre in Paris. Canova made a second version in 1796 and it is in the Hermitage in St. Petersburg

Antonio Canova "Hebe" 1796
Shannon
Hebe was the goddess of youth, daughter of Zeus and Hera. She was also cupbearer to Zeus and the gods (hence the jug she bears in this statue).
"Canova let Hebe glide from the clouds, pouring the wine she served to the gods. The weightless, rhythmically arranged drapes provide a sense of movement whilst the bared upper body adds to the sensuality of the youthful goddess."

I am not sure about the "wine". The Greek gods used to still their thirst with nectar and ambrosia - spending eternal youth to them.

La fotografía convierte a quien la siente y la vive con pasión en un incesante e incansable buscador de belleza.
Es completamente inevitable.
Era mi primera visita a París, pero había estado antes en diversos museos. Había admirado pinturas en Madrid, esculturas de Michelangelo Buonarotti en Florencia...
Para quien haya oído hablar del Síndrome de Stendhal, pero no sepa exactamente en qué consiste, recomiendo leer su "Cartuja de Parma" o "el Rojo y el Negro".
Aquellos que hayan sentido cosas extrañas dentro de sí viendo la maravilla de esta composición escultórica, de esa luz entrando por el ventanal del Louvre, esas asombrosas proporciones y esa perfección moldeando el mármol, sabrán de inmediato a qué me estoy refiriendo.
Conocer el Louvre es algo así como una catarsis.
No creo que nadie pueda evitar sentirse arrebatado por tanta belleza, transportado a otra dimensión espiritual.
Por eso quiero tener y mostrar en mi galería algunos de los tesoros que alberga ese monumento a las mejores obras del ser humano...
Que no son otras que aquellas que salen de lo más profundo de su sensibilidad.
Cuando esa sensibilidad se une con unas manos privilegiadas, un cerebro claro y analítico y una vida dedicada a aprender, el resultado solo puede ser uno... ARTE!!!

Palamedes was a prince of Euboea who took part in the Trojan War.
Son of Nauplius, king of the island of Euboea, Palamedes was the target of Odysseus's fierce hatred,

Odysseus, seeking revenge, in turn accused Palamedes of treason. Palamedes was sentenced to death by the Council and unjustly stoned to death.

Als Sohn von Nauplios, König der Insel Euböa, war Palamedes dem furchtbaren Hass von Odysseus ausgesetzt,

Antonio Canova’s statue The Three Graces is a Neoclassical sculpture, in marble, of the mythological three charites, daughters of Zeus — identified on some engravings of the statue as, from left to right, Euphrosyne, Aglaea and Thalia — who were said to represent youth/beauty, mirth, and elegance.

A kiss is the touch that shuts ones mouth so he can llisten to the heart.
Antonio Canova's Psyche Revived by Cupid's Kiss was commissioned in 1787, donated in 1824.[19]

In 1812, when Canova sent his first “Dancer” to Empress Josephine, it created a sensation. One critic wrote: “ the charm of life and the illusion of movement in this, the simplest of compositions, drew all of Paris … I doubt that theatre’s most celebrated dancer has ever gathered such a crowd of admirers and received such applause.” Canova often carved multiple versions of his creations both to improve with each repetition and to meet the insatiable demands for his iconic works. This is a second version made for sir Charles Clarke, an English collector.
In the Hermitage of Amsterdam there's a wonderful exhibition now, 'Classic Beauties', demonstrating the classicism of the eighteenth century. A featured sculptor is Antonio Canova (1757-1822). Here's his 'Cupid and Psyche'. It shows the young passion of the two lovers with Pysche presenting a Butterfly, a figure for her soul, to Cupid. Their daughter will be Voluptas or Hedone, sometimes called just Pleasure.
And pleasure was certainly mine when I saw that darkly pretty Maniola jurtina, Meadow Brown, on Tansy, Tanacetum vulgare, in the Waterleidingduinen near Zandvoort aan Zee (see inset).
The name 'Maniola' is a diminutive of the Latin Manes, meaning the Souls of the Dead or perhaps in Antiquity a name for the chthonic deities. And Franz von Paula Schranck (1747-1835) devised that name for the genus presumably because of the 'earthy' colors of these Butterflies. Butterflies are often named for nymphs and the like, and the specific name 'jurtina' is probably a misprint or misreading of Juturna, the deity of fountains in ancient Rome. Now that the gods of Antiquity are dead, I thought it not wholly inappropriate to juxtapose Mortal Butterfly on funereal Tansy with once Young Divine Love.

Reviving the ancient Roman artistic traditions of portrayals of mortal individuals in the guise of the gods, this sculpture was commissioned by Pauline Bonaparte's husband Camillo Borghese and executed by Antonio Canova in Rome from 1805 to 1808.
Antonio Canova's "Perseus with the Head of Medusa" that stands center stage in the sculpture court of the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
Since Canova designed his firsts villas, everyone understood and recognised his greatness. In fact, beginning from sculpture and ending up in this beautiful form of art (architecture), he managed to gain respect even from the richest people. Thanks to those works on order his fame grew so much that his artistic style became a sort of an eternal status symbol for noblemen. However, in the end of his life, he wanted to build a church for his own native town, too, called Tempio Canoviano, which is here best represented in one of his greatest views (from the side).

This photo shows the marble statue of Aphrodite of the Syracuse type, 2nd c. AD. Also, another outstanding sculpture completes the scene: the sleeping little Eros, who is looking like he sleeps at the feet of the goddess. This Aphrodite statue which was discovered in southern Italy, at Baiae in the Bay of Naples (once a hedonistic seaside playground for ancient Rome’s rich and famous), probably adorned a luxurious bath or garden. It is made of Parian marble and has a height of 1.8 m. The statue was restored by the sculptor Antonio Canova, since it initially lacked head, neck and right arm. It is a Roman copy of a Greek original. With her left hand, the goddess holds her dress to prevent it from falling down, while with her right attempts to cover her left breast. Thus, the statue belongs to the Venus pudica type (suggesting an action to cover the breasts), which derives from a statue of the famous Athenian sculptor Praxiteles, the Aphrodite of Cnidus, which Pliny the Elder, the writer of encyclopedic Naturalis Historia (Natural History), described as “superior to all the statues … of any … artist that ever existed.” Praxiteles introduced an important legacy of artistic revolution, when around 350 BC pioneered a new perception of nudity in Greek art when he created the first beautifully unclad female figure, the Aphrodite of Knidos (Cnidus). The original Greek sculpture is no longer in existence; however, the successors, the Roman copies, like the one in the image, survive of this influential work of art.
Born from the foam of the sea, according to the Hesoid, was Aphrodite, daughter of Uranus (the Sky). Her companions were Eros and Himerus (desire). Having travelled as far as the shores of Cyprus, the goddess emerged from the sea waves. There, as mythological tradition has it, the Horai (seasons of the year) and the Graces, anointed her, dressed her in divine robes, adorned her with bright ornaments and led her to Olympus. Since then her allotted task was to offer erotic desire to gods and mortals. According to Homer, the bewitching goddess was the daughter of Zeus and Dione.
The unsurpassed beauty of Aphrodite transcends the ancient art that records in a vivid and glorious manner her sensual figure. Associated sometimes with legends narrating her adventures and at other times with her cult, the image of the goddess embodies the essence of female beauty and symbolizes the generative power of sexual union.
