The Italian Carrara marble statue, the signature statue for Erickson Monuments, depicts the Greek mythological figures of Cupid, representing the heart, and Psyche, the mind. The original was carved by Antonio Canova in the 1780’s and is on display in the Louvre. Erickson’s version is of unknown origin. It was brought to Denver from Europe in the 1890’s. The statue was in a Denver home and then given to the Museum of Natural History (now called the Museum of Nature and Science). The museum was Denver’s original art repository. When the Denver Art Museum was formed, the statue was transferred there. It was acquired by Roy Erickson about 1940 and has been on display at Erickson’s since then. |
