Model:
Antonio Canova, Cupid and Psyche
1787-1793 – Musée du Louvre, Paris
Purchased by Gioacchino Murat, Canova's famous masterpiece represents a scene from the myth handed down in the Metamorphoses of Apuleius, and was a milestone in the sculptor's career: he himself made a second copy of the work in 1795 for Catherine II of Russia (today 'Hermitage), and at least five others were created by his pupil Adamo Tadolini with small variations.
