This is one of my favorite works of art. The artist is Antonio Canova.
Something I will always treasure as a memory is going to The Met in NYC in May of 2010. It was an amazing day. People can create the most beautiful and wondrous things. The visit filled me with inspiration. Every time I look at the pictures from that day, I feel a renewed sense of creativity. I would love to know what inspires other people.
So the original of this sculpture is in the Louvre and a second in the Hermitage. Both are places I plan to go in my life.
It was commissioned in 1787. The name of it is, Psyche revived by Cupid's kiss.
The story of which is considered the first fairy tale. It is also a theme in art that continuously fills me with joy. I find it so sad and beautiful.
