Psyche Revived by Cupid's Kiss, Neoclassical marble sculpture in Michelangelo Gallery, Louvre Museum, France.

The marble sculpture depicts Cupid gently supporting Psyche as she extends her arms toward him in a moment of tenderness.

Created between 1787 and 1793 by Italian sculptor Antonio Canova, this artwork was commissioned by English art collector John Campbell.

The sculpture represents a pivotal moment from Greek mythology when Cupid resurrects Psyche with a kiss after she completed divine trials.

The marble masterpiece measures 155 centimeters in height and 168 centimeters in width, positioned prominently in the Michelangelo Gallery.

Canova distinguished textures in marble by contrasting Psyche's smooth skin against surrounding draperies and the base's rough surface.
