EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the exquisite fresco titled "Council of the Gods" by Giovanni Francesco Penni, located in the Villa Farnesina, Rome. The image showcases the Loggia of Cupid and Psyche, specifically focusing on the vault where the Council of the Gods takes place. In this scene, we witness a momentous event as Psyche, unjustly persecuted and tormented, is finally received with divine complacence by a gathering of powerful gods. The artwork itself is an extraordinary collaboration between Penni and Raphael. Painted between 1517-18, it depicts a pivotal moment from Apuleius' Latin myth "The Golden Ass" where love triumphs over adversity. The fresco exudes an air of grandeur and opulence with its intricate architectural details and lush botanical elements that surround the central figures. As we delve into this masterpiece's narrative, we are transported to ancient Olympus itself – a realm inhabited by Greek gods who preside over matters both mortal and divine.
