"Banquet of Cupid and Psyche" (1527-1530) is a renowned fresco by the Italian artist Giulio Romano, also known as Orbetto. This masterpiece is part of a larger decorative scheme in the Sala di Psiche of the Palazzo del Te in Mantua, Italy, which was the pleasure palace of Federico II Gonzaga, the Duke of Mantua. Giulio Romano, a prominent pupil of Raphael, was entrusted with the artistic direction of the palace's interior decoration after Raphael's death in 1520.

The fresco illustrates a scene from the mythological tale of Cupid and Psyche as recounted by the Latin author Apuleius in his work "The Golden Ass." The narrative of Cupid and Psyche is a love story that has been a source of inspiration for artists throughout the centuries. In this particular scene, Romano depicts the wedding banquet of the god Cupid and the mortal Psyche, a moment of celebration and divine union that is rich in allegorical and mythological significance.

Giulio Romano's work is celebrated for its dynamic composition, vivid use of color, and the incorporation of grotesque elements, which were innovative at the time and influenced the development of Mannerism. The "Banquet of Cupid and Psyche" is particularly noted for its elaborate architectural setting and the lively interaction of the figures, showcasing Romano's skill in creating complex narrative scenes.

The fresco is a testament to the cultural and artistic vibrancy of the Italian Renaissance, reflecting the era's interest in classical antiquity, mythology, and the humanist values of the time. Today, the "Banquet of Cupid and Psyche" remains a significant work in the study of 16th-century Italian art and continues to attract scholars and art enthusiasts for its historical and aesthetic importance.
