"Psyche Undergoing One of the Ordeals Set Her by Venus" is a lunette fresco created by the Italian artist Giulio Romano, also known as Orbetto, in 1528. The artwork is part of a series of frescoes that adorn the Sala di Amore e Psiche (Hall of Cupid and Psyche) in the Palazzo del Te in Mantua, Italy. Giulio Romano, a prominent pupil of Raphael, was an influential painter and architect of the Italian High Renaissance and was instrumental in the development of the Mannerist style.

The fresco depicts a scene from the mythological tale of Cupid and Psyche, as recounted in "The Golden Ass" by Apuleius. In the story, Psyche is subjected to a series of trials imposed by Venus, the goddess of love and beauty, and mother of Cupid, with whom Psyche has fallen in love. The trials are meant to be impossible tasks that Psyche must complete to prove her worthiness of Cupid's love.

In this particular lunette, Romano illustrates one of these daunting tasks, capturing the moment with dramatic effect and emotional intensity. The fresco showcases Romano's mastery of form and his ability to convey narrative through the use of dynamic composition and expressive figures. The work is a testament to the artist's skill in fresco technique and his innovative approach to storytelling through visual art.

The Sala di Amore e Psiche, where the fresco is located, was designed as a private chamber for Federico II Gonzaga, the Duke of Mantua. The room's decoration, with its mythological themes, was intended to reflect the humanist interests of the Gonzaga court and serve as an allegory for love and the soul's immortality.

As a significant work of the Italian Renaissance, "Psyche Undergoing One of the Ordeals Set Her by Venus" is an important example of Giulio Romano's contribution to the art of fresco painting and the cultural heritage of the period. The fresco remains an object of study for art historians and a point of interest for visitors to the Palazzo del Te, where it continues to be admired for its artistic and historical value.
