EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a mesmerizing detail of the vault in the Chamber of Cupid and Psyche, located in Palazzo del Te, Mantua, Italy. Painted by Giulio Romano and his workshop between 1526-1528, this fresco depicts a scene from Apuleius' Metamorphoses. In this particular section of the vault, we witness Psyche on her knees, fervently pleading to Juno. The intricate architectural details surrounding them add to the grandeur and beauty of the composition. Peacocks gracefully adorn the scene as symbols of immortality and divine protection. Giulio Romano's mastery is evident in every brushstroke as he brings this mythical tale to life. The delicate portrayal of Psyche's desperation contrasts with Juno's regal presence as she listens intently to her pleas. The Chamber of Cupid and Psyche within Palazzo del Te served as a summer residence for the Gonzaga family. It was here that Giulio Romano created these breathtaking frescoes inspired by ancient mythology. This print allows us to appreciate not only the skillful execution but also serves as a reminder of how art can transport us into another world - one filled with gods, goddesses, love stories, and timeless beauty.
