"The Nymph Callisto on Jupiter's Chariot" is a ceiling decoration fresco from the Sala di Galatea, created by the Italian Renaissance artist Baldassare Peruzzi between 1511 and 1512. The fresco is located in the Villa Farnesina in Rome, a Renaissance suburban villa in the district of Trastevere, commissioned by the Sienese banker Agostino Chigi, one of the richest men of that era. The villa is renowned for its extensive and illustrious decorative program, which includes works by other prominent artists such as Raphael and Sebastiano del Piombo.

Peruzzi's fresco depicts the mythological story of Callisto, a nymph associated with the goddess Diana (Artemis in Greek mythology), who was a victim of Jupiter's (Zeus) desire. According to Ovid's "Metamorphoses," Jupiter disguised himself as Diana to seduce Callisto, leading to her pregnancy. The fresco captures the moment of Jupiter's chariot, likely driven by the god himself, signifying the transportation of Callisto into the heavens. The work is notable for its dynamic composition, use of perspective, and the integration of the architecture of the room into the painted scene, a technique Peruzzi was particularly skilled in.

Peruzzi's contribution to the Villa Farnesina is part of a larger narrative that explores themes of love and transformation, fitting for the private pleasure palace of a wealthy patron. His work in the Sala di Galatea complements the other mythological scenes present, contributing to the overall aesthetic and thematic cohesion of the space. "The Nymph Callisto on Jupiter's Chariot" is an exemplary piece of High Renaissance art, showcasing Peruzzi's mastery of fresco technique, his innovative use of architectural illusion, and his ability to convey complex narratives through visual art.
