Cupid and Psyche

233,00 €

This calcium low-relief is inspired by François Gérard’s painting “Psyche Receiving the First Kiss of Love”, capturing a suspended moment where love meets symbolism. Psyche, the princess whose beauty awakened Venus’s jealousy, embodies the human soul—a theme reinforced by the butterfly above her head, symbolizing the psyche in Greek.

Cupid, Venus’s son, places his first kiss upon her forehead, unseen by the young girl. Surprised and moved, Psyche crosses her arms over her bare chest, conveying with both modesty and intensity the awakening of love.

Every detail of this work, from Psyche’s delicate posture to the symbolic butterfly, pays tribute to the beauty and depth of the ancient myth, transforming a fleeting moment of intimacy into an allegory of the soul and the experience of love.
