It's called "Psyche Revived by Cupid's Kiss"

by Antonio Canova (1757-1822)

It's in Paris.

What do you think??

I'm familiar with the work... it's from a scene excerpted from Lucius Apuleius' The Golden Ass. It's in Le Musée du Louvre and it is a magnificent sight to see in person.

What do I think? Well, I think I know why you like it!

I just think it's incredibly beautiful and romantic.

G-man, approximately how big is it in person??

Well, I suppose that would depend on what... Oh! You mean the size of the statue? It's about life size. :p

I think it's extremely rude and disgusting.
