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.

Adolphe Itasse
Adolphe Itasse was an important French sculptor born in Lourmarin in 1829, who died in Paris in 1893. He studied under Belloc and Jacquot and exhibited at the Salon from 1864–93. Itasse worked on several important public commissions for the Louvre (Retour de la Chasse), the Opera (Philidor, Puccini, Cambert), the Trocadero Palace (L’Astronomie) and Hotel de Ville de Paris (La Vapeur; Le Gaz). He specialized in portrait busts and reliefs, including those of contemporary personalities. Itasse also sculpted several genres 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.
