EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing detail of the vault in the Chamber of Cupid and Psyche, located in Palazzo del Te, Mantua, Italy. Painted between 1526 and 1528 by Giulio Romano and his workshop, this masterpiece is a testament to their artistic prowess. The lunette depicted in the photograph portrays Ceres and Juno fiercely defending Eros, the god of love. The scene exudes an air of intensity as these powerful goddesses protect love itself from any harm that may come its way. Their expressions are filled with determination and strength, emphasizing their unwavering commitment to safeguarding this vital force. Giulio Romano drew inspiration from Apuleius' Metamorphoses for this awe-inspiring artwork. Each stroke on the frescoes tells a story that captivates viewers with its rich symbolism and intricate details. Palazzo Te served as the summer residence for Gonzaga family members during that time period. Its Sala di Amore e Psiche holds twenty-two steps illustrated by Giulio Romano himself. These steps depict various scenes from Apuleius' work, creating an immersive experience for visitors. Through this print captured by Ghigo Roli from Bridgeman Images, we can appreciate not only the remarkable talent of Giulio Romano but also witness a moment frozen in time where mythological figures come alive on canvas.
