EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a mesmerizing moment from the noble banquet celebrating the mythical marriage of Cupid and Psyche. Painted by Giulio Romano in 1528, this detail showcases the exquisite fresco found in the Sala di Amore e Psiche at Palazzo del Te in Mantua, Italy. In this particular scene, our attention is drawn to Dionysius and Silenus positioned to the right of a lavishly set table. The crystal plates gleam under the soft glow of candlelight while silverware glistens with elegance. A majestic lion, donkey, camel, and goat stand nearby as if guarding over this sumptuous feast. The atmosphere exudes an air of enchantment as we witness fantastical creatures such as tigers and elephants mingling amongst guests. Nude figures gracefully move about amidst lush greenery within a bower adorned with cherubs and putti. Romano's masterful mannerist style is evident through his intricate attention to detail; every stroke brings life to each character present. The composition seamlessly blends reality with mythology, creating a truly extraordinary tableau. As we gaze upon this remarkable image captured by A© Raffaello Bencini, we are transported into a world where imagination reigns supreme. It serves as a testament to both Romano's artistic prowess and our enduring fascination with these wonderful characters from ancient tales.
