"Psyche Eating in the House of Cupid" is a notable fresco by the Italian Renaissance artist Giulio Romano, also known as Orbetto. Created in 1528, this work is part of a larger decorative scheme in the Sala di Amore e Psyche (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 the Mannerist style.

The fresco is a ceiling caisson, a square panel set within a coffered ceiling, and it depicts a scene from the classical myth of Cupid and Psyche as recounted by the Latin author Apuleius in his work "The Golden Ass." The narrative illustrates the moment when Psyche, a mortal woman of extraordinary beauty, is invited to dine in the enchanted palace of her mysterious lover, Cupid, the god of love. Unbeknownst to Psyche at the time, Cupid is the son of Venus, who had become jealous of Psyche's beauty and had originally sent her son to make Psyche fall in love with a monster.

Giulio Romano's fresco captures the opulence and otherworldly atmosphere of the palace, with a focus on the sensuality and emotional depth characteristic of the story. The artist's use of vibrant colors, dynamic composition, and intricate architectural perspectives reflects the sophistication of the Mannerist style, which emphasized complexity and artifice over the balanced harmony typical of the High Renaissance.

The Sala di Amore e Psyche, including the "Psyche Eating in the House of Cupid" fresco, is considered one of Romano's masterpieces and a significant contribution to the development of 16th-century Italian art. The room's frescoes as a whole are celebrated for their imaginative interpretation of the myth and their influence on subsequent generations of artists. The Palazzo del Te and its decorations remain a testament to Giulio Romano's creative genius and his ability to transform classical themes into vivid and enduring works of art.
