"Scene of the Sacrifice of a Dove" is a notable fresco by the Italian Renaissance artist Giulio Romano, also known as Orbetto. Created in 1528, this artwork forms part of the decorative scheme in the Sala di Amore e Psiche (Hall of Cupid and Psyche) within 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 ceiling caisson in which the fresco is situated is one of several that depict episodes from the mythological tale of Cupid and Psyche, as recounted in "The Golden Ass" by Apuleius. This particular scene illustrates the moment of a sacrificial ritual, focusing on the act of sacrificing a dove, a bird often associated with the goddess Venus, who plays a significant role in the myth. The fresco is characterized by its dynamic composition, rich color palette, and the elegant figures that are typical of Romano's work.

Giulio Romano's mastery in creating complex, illusionistic spaces is evident in this fresco, where the architectural elements of the caisson frame the scene, enhancing its visual impact. The artwork is an exemplary piece of the Mannerist style, showcasing the artist's skill in manipulating perspective and space to evoke emotion and drama.

The Sala di Amore e Psiche, including the "Scene of the Sacrifice of a Dove," is considered one of Romano's masterpieces and a significant contribution to the Italian Renaissance. The frescoes in the hall have been widely studied for their artistic and historical significance, offering insight into the cultural and aesthetic values of the period.
