A photomorph of the marble statue "Psyche" by Jean-Jaques Pradier. 1824. Louvre, Paris
Description: In Greek mythology, Psyche is the personification of the soul and breath. She often is represented as a girl holding a butterfly. There is the myth about Eros (Cupid) and Psyche, according to which the earthly girl Psyche receives immortality from Zeus for her love and faithfulness to Eros. The sculpture was carved from an ancient Greek column from Paros, which explains its specific sparkle.
