Cupid and Psyche

233,00 €

Low-relief inspired by François Gérard’s painting “Psyche Receiving Cupid’s First Kiss”

This limestone low-relief captures a suspended moment between love and symbolism. Psyche, a princess whose beauty aroused the jealousy of Venus, embodies the human soul — a concept emphasized by the butterfly above her head, symbolizing the psyche in Greek.

Cupid, the son of Venus, gently places his first kiss on her forehead, unseen by the young maiden. Surprised and moved, Psyche crosses her arms over her bare chest, expressing the awakening of love with both modesty and intensity.

Every detail of this work, from Psyche’s delicate posture to the presence of the butterfly, pays tribute to the beauty and depth of the ancient myth, transforming an intimate moment into an allegory of the soul and romantic sentiment.
