Clément-Léopold Steiner (1875–1942)

Adrien-Étienne Gaudez Cupid & Psyche is a bronze sculpture that explores the idealized love story from classical mythology. The calm balance of the composition and the relationship between the figures refer to the interplay of inner strength, desire, and self-discipline. The body shapes following antique models and the restrained movement create a timeless, harmonious effect. The work is a mature example of Gaudez's academic sculpture.
