EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the enchanting scene of Psyche eating in the house of Cupid, depicted on a ceiling caisson from the Sala di Amore e Psyche. Painted by Giulio Romano in 1528, this oil on stucco masterpiece is housed in Palazzo del Te, Mantua, Italy. The image showcases Romano's exceptional skill in coffering and foreshortening techniques, as well as his distinctive mannerist style. The intricate details of the table setting and the elaborate canopy above create an atmosphere of opulence and grandeur. Amidst this luxurious setting, we see Psyche delicately enjoying her meal while surrounded by playful putti and cherubs. These celestial beings add a touch of whimsy to the composition, their presence emphasizing the divine nature of this mythological tale. Romano's mastery is evident not only in his ability to capture human form but also in his command over architectural elements. The way he seamlessly integrates figures into the surrounding space creates a harmonious balance between reality and imagination. Through A© Raffaello Bencini's lens, this print allows us to appreciate every brushstroke and detail with remarkable clarity. It serves as a testament to both Romano's artistic brilliance and Bencini's talent for capturing fine art. This stunning piece invites viewers into a world where mythology intertwines with beauty, leaving us captivated by its timeless allure.
