"Cupid and Psyche" is a renowned fresco by the Italian Mannerist painter Francesco Primaticcio (1504–1570). Primaticcio, a prominent figure of the School of Fontainebleau, was instrumental in introducing Italian Renaissance art to France. The fresco, which depicts the mythological tale of love between Cupid, the Roman god of desire, and Psyche, a mortal woman of great beauty, is a testament to Primaticcio's mastery in conveying complex narratives through his art.

The story of Cupid and Psyche, originating from "The Golden Ass" by Apuleius, was a popular subject during the Renaissance, symbolizing the union of physical love and the soul. In Primaticcio's rendition, the intricate interplay of human emotion and divine intervention is captured with a delicate balance of form and color, characteristic of the Mannerist style. The fresco is noted for its graceful figures, elongated proportions, and the use of sfumato—a technique that creates a soft transition between colors, much like the work of Leonardo da Vinci.

Primaticcio's work on the fresco was part of his larger contribution to the decoration of the Château de Fontainebleau, where he was summoned by King Francis I of France to enhance the palace's grandeur. The artist's influence extended beyond his paintings, as he was also involved in the design of stucco decorations and the creation of full-scale cartoons for tapestries.

"Cupid and Psyche" by Primaticcio not only exemplifies the artist's technical skill and creative vision but also reflects the cultural exchange between Italy and France during the Renaissance. The fresco remains an important piece of art history, illustrating the enduring power of mythological subjects in visual art and the legacy of Primaticcio's contributions to the School of Fontainebleau.
