EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a mesmerizing detail 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 photograph showcases the intricate beauty of this neoclassical artwork. In this particular detail, we witness the vulnerability and sensuality of Psyche as she stands naked amidst a swarm of butterflies. The artist skillfully portrays her grace and femininity through his expertly carved marble figure. As an allegory for love and beauty, Psyche's delicate form embodies both divine divinity and human fragility. The presence of Cupid adds to the enchantment of the scene. With his bow at hand, he represents love itself - Eros personified. Together with Psyche, they create an amorous tableau that evokes emotions deep within our souls. Canova's mastery lies not only in capturing physical likeness but also in conveying emotion through stone. This sculpture draws inspiration from Greek mythology and Latin mythological tales such as Apuleius' "Metamorphoses" or "The Golden Ass". Through Ghigo Roli's lens, we are granted a glimpse into the timeless allure of Canova's work. This print serves as a testament to the enduring power of art to evoke passion and stir our imaginations across centuries.
