Cupid and Psyche
Cupid is the angel in charge of love in ancient Roman mythology and Greek mythology. His distinctive features are a pair of wings, a bow, a golden arrow that promotes love into marriage, and a lead arrow that ends love and leads to a breakup.
Psyche was the daughter of a mortal king. Because of her extreme beauty, she was crazily pursued by people and even aroused the jealousy of some people. Psyche also made the goddess Venus in the sky jealous because of her outstanding beauty, fearing that people would no longer worship her. Venus was jealous of the beauty of human Psyche, so she sent Cupid to hinder Psyche’s love path with lead arrows. But Cupid couldn’t help falling in love with Psyche when he saw her. Love keeps two people together for a lifetime.

His crossed hands hold Psyche tightly in his arms, and Psyche lovingly rests her head on Cupid’s shoulder, the eyes are full of admiration and attachment for the lover, and the slightly rotating and tilted body postures of the two people not only shorten the distance between the two but also allow the viewer to feel the close relationship between them and see They protect and cherish each other’s loved ones. This is also the meditative space that the statue’s creator, Antoni Canova, wanted to leave to the viewer.
Another exquisite detail is the wings on Cupid’s back. Each feather on a pair of wings shows a light and delicate shape. If viewed from any angle, we can see its layers and depth. These details are reflected in the wings. The extraordinary carving skills of the craftsmen. Through their eyes, we seem to see a firm strength, which is their yearning for the future, their recognition of each other, and their affirmation of their beautiful love.

The core of the statue is to coexist harmoniously and resonate with the space. This Cupid and Psyche marble statue not only enhances the beauty of your space but also highlights your artistic taste.

Records about Psyche can be found in Apuleius’s “The Golden Ass.” The book writes that Psyche was a human being, the youngest daughter of a king, with a peerless appearance, even more beautiful than Venus. Even better.
In ancient Greek mythology and Roman mythology, the word Psyche means soul. Often appearing as a girl with butterfly wings, she is the incarnation of the human soul.
The statue’s creator was Italian Antonio Canova in 1793, which was in the neoclassical period. The inspiration for the sculpture comes from Apuleius’ “The Golden Ass.”
Psyche was initially with Cupid and always kept her promise not to look at Cupid’s face. But Psyche’s sister was jealous of Psyche’s happy life and encouraged her to peek at Cupid’s face, and told Psyche to kill Cupid with a knife if she found out that Cupid was an ugly and cruel monster.
Psyche could not resist persuasion and finally saw Cupid’s face with an oil lamp after Cupid fell asleep. Cupid woke up and knew that Psyche had discovered all this. He hated her distrust and thought that Psyche had betrayed him. He flew away sadly and left Psyche.
Because in mythology, breaking a promise is a betrayal in a sense.
