EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite sculpture "Amor and Psyche" created by Antonio Canova in 1808. Housed in the prestigious State Hermitage collection in St. Petersburg, this masterpiece beautifully captures the essence of love and desire. Inspired by ancient Roman mythology, Canova skillfully brings to life the tale of Cupid and Psyche as told by Apuleius. The delicate marble figures depict Amor (Cupid), the god of love, embracing Psyche, a mortal princess who became his beloved. Their entwined bodies exude an air of sensuality and tenderness that transcends time. Canova's neoclassical style shines through in every intricate detail, from the flowing drapery to the flawless contours of their bodies. This sculpture is not merely an object but a testament to human emotions and desires. As you gaze upon this work of art, you are transported back to ancient Greece where gods meddled with mortals' lives and love conquered all obstacles. It serves as a reminder that even amidst adversity, true love prevails. The "Amor and Psyche" print is more than just a decorative piece; it is an invitation to delve into Greek mythology's rich tapestry while appreciating Canova's artistic genius. Let it grace your walls as a symbol of eternal love and passion that knows no bounds or limitations
