"The Construction of the Wooden Horse of Troy" is a renowned fresco by the Italian artist Giulio Romano, also known as Orbetto. Giulio Romano (c. 1499 – 1546) was a notable painter, architect, and a prominent pupil of Raphael. His work is often characterized by its dynamic composition and inventive iconography, which is exemplified in this particular fresco.

The fresco depicts the scene from the epic cycle of the Trojan War, where the Greeks construct the infamous Wooden Horse to infiltrate the city of Troy. This subject is a classic example of historical narrative in art, illustrating a pivotal moment that has been recounted in various literary sources, most notably in Virgil's "Aeneid."

Giulio Romano's interpretation of the scene is celebrated for its masterful representation of human figures in various states of action and repose, as well as its detailed portrayal of the wooden horse itself. The fresco is part of a larger decorative scheme, which was a common practice in the Italian Renaissance, where artists would create comprehensive narratives across the walls of a room.

The artwork is located in the Palazzo del Te in Mantua, Italy, which was designed by Romano himself. The palazzo was built for Federico II Gonzaga, the Marquis of Mantua, and serves as a prime example of Mannerist architecture and interior decoration. The fresco can be found in the Room of the Horses, a space dedicated to the celebration of the Gonzaga's passion for horses and their breeding.

As a significant work of the Italian Renaissance and a testament to Giulio Romano's artistic legacy, "The Construction of the Wooden Horse of Troy" continues to be studied and admired for its historical significance and artistic merit. The fresco remains an important piece within the oeuvre of Romano and a valuable cultural artifact within the context of 16th-century Italian art.
