About the Item
A Fine Patinated Bronze Figural Group of Cupid and Psyche, Entitled 'L'Amour Vainqueur' ('A Love Vanquished') By Adolphe Itasse (French, 1830 - 1893).
On a revolving rouge de France marble base.
Signed and dated ‘A. Itasse / Scvpt / 1887’, inscribed ‘W. BOUGUEREAU. INV’, stamped with a foundry seal, further inscribed: ‘42047 / 6’, and with brass title plaque to the base.
French, Dated 1887.
The inspiration for this fine bronze group was the painting of the same title by the celebrated artist William-Adolphe Bouguereau painted in 1886 and shown at the the Paris Exposition universelle of 1889. In the same way that Bouguereau often drew inspiration from sculptural compositions for his paintings, sculptors were similarly inspired by his work. The subject shows an infant cupid and psyche and prophesises the abjection of psyche as told in the story of Metamorphoses.

Bronze Figural statue "The Winning Love" By Adolphe Itasse after a model
Located in New York, NY
An Exquisite bronze figural pairing of two putti with butterfly wings. One putti holds a bow, while his counterpart cowers behind him. A dynamic piece of fabric hovers over the grouping, showcasing expertly modeled drapery, embellishing the composition of the piece. The figural grouping and pose is base off of a painting by William-Adolphe Bouguereau (1925 - 1905), a french academic painter who created realistic genre paintings of modernized mythological scenes.
Itasse studied under Belloc and Jacquot and exhibited at the Salon from 1864 to 1893. The artist worked on multiple public commissions for the Louvre (Retour de la Chasse), l Opera (Philidor, Puccini, Cambert), the Trocadero Palace (L Astronomie) and Hotel de Ville de Paris.
He specialized in busts, portrait reliefs of contemporary personalities, also sculpting a number of genre and allegorical works, such as The Kiss, The Birth of Love, Astronomy and Science.
Amongst other awards he won a medal at the 1875 Salon and an honorable mention at the Universal Exhibition of 1889.
