Description:

|
Roman copy (1st or 2nd century CE) from a late Hellenistic original of the 2nd century BCE. The sculpture was discovered in the garden of the vigna of the canonico Panicale on the Aventine Hill in February 1749, and given to the Capitoline Museums by Pope Benedict XIV. Cupid and Psyche is a story originally from Metamorphoses (also called The Golden Ass), written in the 2nd century CE by Lucius Apuleius Madaurensis (or Platonicus). Although the only extended narrative from antiquity is that of Apuleius, Eros and Psyche appear in Greek art as early as the 4th century BCE. Cupid or Amor is the Latin version of the Greek Eros. In late antiquity, the couple are often shown in a "chin-chuck" embrace, a gesture of "erotic communion" with a long history. (Source: Wikipedia; http://en.wikipedia. org/wiki/Main_Page)
