Lot 3001 | Antonio Canova
(1757 Possagno - 1822 Venedig) nach"Amor und Psyche". OriginaltitelWeißer Carrara-Marmor. Canova schilderte den Moment, in dem der leblose Körper der Psyche gerade von Amor wieder zum Leben erweckt wird und die Figuren im Begriff sind sich zu küssen. Amor mit großen, in den Himmel ragenden Flügeln und Pfeilköcher auf dem Rücken kniet sich von hinten über Psyche und berührt diese an ihrer Brust, während Psyche ihre Arme um den Kopf Amors legt; hinter ihnen die Flasche mit jener Salbe, die Psyche in der Unterwelt gesammelt hatte. Große, bildhauerisch subtil ausgeführte Skulpturengruppe nach dem berühmten Werk Antonio Canovas, das sich in zwei 1796/97 entstandenen Marmor-Versionen in der Eremitage in Sankt Petersburg und im Louvre in Paris erhalten hat. "Amor und Psyche" git als Hauptwerk Canovas, dem bedeutenden Meister des Klassizismus, der über Italien hinaus internationale Berühmtheit erlangte. H. 139 cm. B. 162 cm. T. 65 cm. After Antonio Canova (1757 - 1822). Contemporary Carrara marble sculpture after the "Cupid and Psyche" sculptures in the Louvre in Paris and the Hermitage Museum in Saint Petersburg.
