"Neptune and a Water Nymph" is a notable ceiling caisson painting created in 1528 by the Italian artist Giulio Romano, also known as Orbetto. This artwork is part of the decorative scheme of the Sala di Amore e Psiche (Hall of Cupid and Psyche) located in the Palazzo del Te in Mantua, Italy. The palazzo was designed by Romano himself, who was a prominent pupil of Raphael and an influential figure in the transition from the High Renaissance to Mannerism.

The painting depicts the Roman god Neptune, the deity of the sea, alongside a water nymph, set within a mythological context that aligns with the overarching theme of the room dedicated to the love story between Cupid and Psyche. The ceiling caisson, a recessed architectural element, serves as a frame for the artwork, enhancing its visual impact and integrating it into the architectural design of the room.

Giulio Romano's mastery is evident in the dynamic composition and the fluidity of the figures, which reflect the movement of water and the divine nature of the subjects. The use of vibrant colors and the illusionistic effect of the figures emerging from the ceiling demonstrate Romano's skill in creating a sense of depth and three-dimensionality.

The Sala di Amore e Psiche is considered one of Romano's masterpieces, and "Neptune and a Water Nymph" contributes significantly to the room's allegorical narrative, which combines elements of classical mythology with the sophisticated elegance characteristic of the Mannerist style. The artwork is an important example of 16th-century Italian art and offers insight into the cultural and artistic milieu of the period.

As a significant contribution to the Italian Renaissance and a testament to Giulio Romano's artistic legacy, "Neptune and a Water Nymph" continues to be studied and admired for its aesthetic qualities and historical relevance.
