2Psyche Revived by Cupid’s Kiss by Antonio Canova

An exquisite sculpture from the Neoclassical period, Canova’s Psyche Revived by Cupid’s Kiss is a marble statue depicting the mythological lovers, Psyche and Cupid.

The sculpture, carved with delicate, almost ethereal precision, captures the tender moment when Cupid revives Psyche with a kiss. The lifelike quality and emotional intensity make this work a breathtaking example of Canova’s talent and the romantic ideals of the Neoclassical movement.
