Cupid and Psyche, after Canova c. 19th century

Editor: Here we have Luigi Pichler’s miniature, "Cupid and Psyche, after Canova." It's so small! The figures are barely visible. What am I missing here? Curator: It's interesting, isn’t it? It’s like a whisper of Canova's grand gestures. Pichler captures the essence of that embrace in something you could hold in your palm. It's intimacy distilled. Can you feel it? Editor: I guess so. It’s strange to think of something so monumental being shrunk down. It feels like a secret. Curator: Exactly! It's a reminder that beauty can be found in the quietest moments, and the smallest of packages.
