"The Game of the Golden Cushion" (Italian: "Il Gioco del Cuscino d'Oro") is a notable fresco created by the Italian Renaissance painter Bernardino Luini, a work executed between 1520 and 1523. Bernardino Luini, a contemporary and follower of Leonardo da Vinci, was renowned for his delicate use of color and nuanced portrayal of human emotion, traits that are vividly present in this artwork. The fresco is part of a series that adorned the walls of the Villa Pelucca in Sesto San Giovanni, near Milan, which housed several works by Luini and his workshop.

The fresco depicts a group of elegantly dressed youths engaged in a playful and aristocratic game, where a golden cushion serves as the focal point of their activity. The game, a pastime among the nobility of the Renaissance period, involves participants passing a cushion amongst themselves in a manner dictated by specific rules, akin to the modern "hot potato" game. The exact rules and significance of the game during the Renaissance are subjects of scholarly debate, but it is often interpreted as a courtship ritual or a symbolic representation of social harmony and competition.

Luini's mastery is evident in the composition's dynamic movement and the expressive faces of the participants, which convey a range of emotions from anticipation to delight. The use of light and shadow, influenced by Leonardo's sfumato technique, adds depth and realism to the scene. Furthermore, the detailed depiction of the costumes and surroundings provides valuable insights into the fashion and interior design of the Italian Renaissance.

"The Game of the Golden Cushion" is celebrated for its artistic and historical significance, offering a window into the leisure activities and social customs of the Italian nobility during the early 16th century. Today, the fresco is preserved and displayed in a museum setting, allowing contemporary audiences to appreciate Luini's contribution to the Renaissance art movement and the cultural heritage of Italy.
