EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a mesmerizing scene from the Sala di Amore e Psiche, painted by Giulio Romano in 1528. In this exquisite work of art, we witness the divine intervention of Cupid with Venus and Mercury as they conspire to capture Psyche. The painting is rich in symbolism and intricate details. Cupid, the mischievous god of love, stands at the center, his golden wings spread wide. He is flanked by Venus, the goddess of beauty and love, and Mercury, the messenger of gods. Together, they form an ethereal trio against a backdrop of celestial clouds. Cupid's arrow is poised to strike as he prepares to ensnare Psyche's heart. The cherubs and putti surrounding them add an air of enchantment to the composition. Their delicate forms seem suspended within a heavenly coffering adorned with gilt accents. Romano's masterful use of oil on stucco creates a luminous effect that enhances every brushstroke. The mannerist style employed here adds drama and dynamism to this mythical narrative. Displayed within Palazzo del Te in Mantua, Italy, this piece exemplifies Renaissance artistry at its finest. Through A© Raffaello Bencini's lens, we are transported back in time to witness this timeless tale unfold before our eyes. As we gaze upon this print today, we cannot help but be captivated by its beauty and marvel at how it continues to
