Summary[edit]

Description
English: Cupid and Psyche

Sculpture
About 1908
Auguste Rodin (1840-1917)
Paris
Marble

Rodin explored this subject over a number of years, beginning in the 1880s with his work for the Gates of Hell. The smoothly finished figures emerging from rough-hewn rock reflect his admiration for the work of Michelangelo. Marble versions of Rodin\'s sculpture were usually carved by assistants under his supervision. This was normal workshop practice at the time.

This sculpture developed from one of the groups in The Gates of Hell (the bronze portal and doors for the new Museum of Decorative Arts, Paris, which Rodin was asked to design in 1880). Rodin explored the subject over a number of years, the earliest dating from before 1886, and produced it in several other versions, as well as drawing it repeatedly.

Given by the artist.
