Cupid & Psyche Grande Sculpture
Cupid & Psyche Grande Sculpture
By Antonio Canova (1757-1822) in the Louvre, Paris
Though it’s possible, guests won’t need to walk all the way around this amazingly grande scale, nearly 3-foot-wide sculpture to truly appreciate its magnificence or your own taste for fine art! Unparalleled as a sophisticated garden focal point, Canova’s 18th century masterpiece depicting Cupid, the god of love and Psyche, a mortal, captures passion in an immortal embrace. We’ve resculpted this most romantic of myths in quality designer resin and finished it in faux stone as an elaborate celebration of the enduring nature of love.
Bring inside during freezing temperatures.

Antonio Canova (1757-1822)
Antonio Canova was a Venetian sculptor famous for his marble sculptures of nudes, delicately detailed and classically refined. Canova is the quintessential Neoclassical sculptor; his work marked a return to the classical order following the grandiose theatrics of the Baroque movement.
Both Canova s father and grandfather were stonecutters and as soon as young Antonio could hold a pencil, he began to follow into the family profession and quickly became attached to his art.
By 1775, Canova had opened his own studio and his first sculpture was deemed so realistic, that he was accused of making plaster casts from live models. In 1779, Canova settled in Rome, where he was strongly influenced by classical antiquity. Theseus Slaying the Centaur first established Canova s fame in Rome as a sculptor. The Theseus was admired much for the visible physical exhaustion of the victorious Theseus, while a simple and natural expression displays on his face. Canova s sculpture united the revered concepts of grandeur and truth.
Among Canova s greatest sculptures were the tombs for two popes, Clement XIII and Clement XIV, the former flanked by Canova s Grand Lions. Canova s sculpture of Cupid and Psyche, however, was the sculpture most admired by his contemporaries along with his other sculptures depicting the mythological.
Antonio Canova was the greatest sculptor of his time, dubbed the supreme minister of beauty and a unique and truly divine man. Until his death, Canova s renown grew throughout Europe, and eventually, the entire world.
