Eros and Soul is the work of Italian sculptor Antonio Caneva. It was built between 1788 and 1793 following an order from Colonel John Campbell. Built-in 1801 by Joachim Myra and hosted today at the Louvre Museum.
\nCupid and Psyche is a story originally from Metamorphoses, written in the 2nd Century AD by Lucius Apuleius Madaurensis (or Platonicus).It concerns the overcoming of obstacles to the love between Psyche (\/\u02c8sa\u026aki\u02d0\/, Greek: \u03a8\u03c5\u03c7\u03ae [p\u02b0sy\u02d0.k\u02b0\u025b\u1dc4\u02d0], “Soul” or “Breath of Life”) and Cupid (Latin Cupido, “Desire”) or Amor (“Love”, Greek Eros \u2019\u2032\u0395\u03c1\u03c9\u03c2), and their ultimate union in a sacred marriage. Although the only extended narrative from antiquity is that of Apuleius, Eros and Psyche appear in Greek art as early as the 4th century BC. The story’s Neoplatonic elements and allusions to mystery religions accommodate multiple interpretations, and it has been analyzed as an allegory and in light of folktale, M\u00e4rchen or fairy tale, and myth.

\nSince the rediscovery of Apuleius’s novel in the Renaissance, the reception of Cupid and Psyche in the classical tradition has been extensive. The story has been retold in poetry, drama, and opera, and depicted widely in painting, sculpture, and even wallpaper.[5] Psyche’s Roman name through direct translation is Anima.
\nAll of the copies of famous statues we produce made from a\u00a0\u00a0material in which natural\u00a0crushed Greek Alabaster stone\u00a0is mixed with a small quantity of resin that works as a glue.\u00a0\u0391labaster was very widely used for small sculpture for indoor use in the ancient world
\nThe construction of the statue begins with the creation of the mold. The mold is made by hand-crafted artisans and is an exact copy of the ancient statue. The prepared mixture of alabaster powder and resin is poured into the mold. The very fine dust of the alabaster allows us to make a copy with great precision in detail. The copy is then hand-crafted and perfected by our experienced craftsmen. The painting is then polished with indelible colors in white, museum patina or colored. The quality of the construction is of a high standard so that we have a perfect result that remains unchanged over time.
\nOur statues are not carved. Statues of natural marble carved in the hand are very expensive constructions. Our effort is to give you a product at a very good price with perfect construction. A perfect copy of the prototype with an emphasis on detail that does not hurt from time.<\/p>\n
