Cupid and Psyche

Sculptures series

 The "Sculptures" series is designed to inform our perception of seminal works of art from different periods. In each episode, a sculpture from the museum is situated in its historical context and observed from all sides in its three-dimensionality.

Director(s): Martin Fraudreau

This precious and delicate group sculpture by Antonio Canova is a poem in marble, a hymn to love and beauty.
