Amor et Psyche
"Shot on location in Paris, France.
Visitors of the Louvre Museum in Paris love this sculpture, and I do too: the famous 'Amor et Psyche' from the artist Antonio Canova, who lived between 1757 and 1822.
The sculpture captures the moment Amor returns Psyche from her deadly sleep - after being kissed by Amor she´s awake and back to life. Canova created a marvelous work, where the spectator realizes the gentleness of love. The way Psyche hugs Amor creates a vivid dynamic composition in pure marble". Taken by John Grace
