"Cupid and Psyche I" is a renowned neoclassical sculpture created by the Italian artist Antonio Canova between 1787 and 1793. This exquisite marble work of art depicts the mythological tale of Cupid, the Roman god of love, and Psyche, a mortal woman whose beauty rivaled that of Venus. The sculpture captures the moment of tender reunion and the awakening kiss between the two lovers, a narrative derived from "Metamorphoses," commonly known as "The Golden Ass," written by Apuleius in the 2nd century AD.

The sculpture stands out for its delicate portrayal of emotion and the masterful rendering of the human form, hallmarks of Canova's work that reflect the neoclassical movement's return to the ideals of ancient Greek and Roman art. The composition is both dynamic and harmonious, with Cupid's wings and the lovers' intertwined limbs leading the viewer's eye around the piece, inviting them to engage with the story from multiple angles.

Commissioned by Colonel John Campbell, "Cupid and Psyche I" is the first of several versions created by Canova on this theme. It was initially intended for Campbell's residence but gained such acclaim that it was exhibited in Canova's studio in Rome, where it attracted the attention of art lovers and patrons from across Europe. The sculpture's popularity contributed to Canova's reputation as one of the leading sculptors of his time.

Today, "Cupid and Psyche I" is held in a prominent public collection, where it continues to be admired for its aesthetic beauty and emotional depth. The work has been widely studied and celebrated in art historical literature as an exemplary piece of neoclassical sculpture, embodying the era's artistic ideals and Canova's exceptional skill as a sculptor.
