Cupid and Psyche 1794 Object Details Artist: Antonio Canova (Italian, Possagno 1757–1822 Venice) Date: 1794 Culture: Italian, Rome Medium: Plaster Dimensions: Overall: 53 × 59 1/2 × 32 in. (134.6 × 151.1 × 81.3 cm) Classification: Sculpture Credit Line: Gift of Isidor Straus, 1905 Accession Number: 05.46 Canova made two slightly different versions of this composition. The first, commissioned by a Briton, was later acquired by Napoleon's brother-in-law and is now in the Musée du Louvre, Paris. The second, for which this full-scale model was prepared, was made for Prince Nicholas Youssoupov and is now in the Hermitage, Saint Petersburg. The plaster was inherited by Canova's assistant, Adamo Tadolini, who used it to replicate additional groups. The metal pins inserted over the surface assisted the sculptor in transferring the form of the complex group from the plaster to the block of marble from which the sculpture was carved.

Wall Fragment with Cupids and Psyche Making Perfume Unknown Roman, A.D. 50 - 75 Plaster and pigment 14 15/16 x 22 1/16 in. 72.AG.81 A group of Cupids tend a perfume shop in this Roman wall painting fragment. On the left, two Cupids mix perfume in a large white bowl. Behind them, a cupboard holds jars containing either perfume ingredients or the finished product. At the right, a Cupid holds an alabastron, while a seated Psyche holds up her arm to smell the perfume. Cupids and Psyches engaged in everyday activities were a popular humorous subject in Roman art, especially wall painting. Typical of a style of Roman painting popular in the first century A.D. called the Fourth Style, this fresco fragment was part of a larger scheme of painted decoration for a wall in a wealthy home. Fourth Style wall painting was very much in vogue when the volcano Vesuvius erupted in A.D. 79, destroying the cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum. The houses excavated at those sites show that a panel like this one would have been a minor element of the wall's decoration, subsidiary to a large panel with a mythological or architectural motif.
