REPRISE: 'Cupid and Psyche' - Antonio Canova

Antonio Canova's 'Cupid and Psyche.' 1796.

Portrayed is the moment when the messsenger of love, Cupid himself, flies down and wakes his own love from eternal slumber -- doing so, naturally, with a kiss.

What else would possibly do?

    And you have to see it for real to appreciate how incredibly beautiful it is, and I have.

    Psyche has extremely small breasts. Pretty androgenous, really. Homo suspect rating: 7.4/10

    On a similar theme, see this one by Daniel Chester French:
    The Sons of God Saw the Daughters of Man That They were Fair

We welcome thoughtful disagreement.
But we do (ir)regularly moderate comments -- and we *will* delete any with insulting or abusive language. Or if they're just inane or off topic. It’s okay to disagree, but pretend you’re having a drink in the living room with the person you’re disagreeing with. This includes me.
PS: Have the honesty and courage to use your real name. That gives added weight to any opinion.
