"The Council of the Gods" is a significant fresco that forms part of the larger decorative scheme of the Villa Farnesina in Rome, painted by the renowned Italian Renaissance artist Raphael (Raffaello Sanzio of Urbino). This masterpiece, created in the early 16th century, is specifically located in the Loggia of Cupid and Psyche, where it adorns the ceiling alongside other scenes depicting the mythological tale of the courtship and marriage of Cupid and Psyche.

The fresco illustrates a pivotal moment in the narrative drawn from "The Golden Ass" by Apuleius, where the assembly of gods convenes to discuss the fate of the lovers, Cupid and Psyche. Raphael's composition is a testament to his mastery of perspective and his ability to convey complex narratives through visual art. The council is presided over by Jupiter, with other Olympian deities in attendance, each rendered with individual characteristics and attributes that reflect their divine roles.

Raphael's work on the Villa Farnesina was commissioned by the wealthy banker Agostino Chigi, one of the most prominent patrons of the arts during the Renaissance. The frescoes in the loggia are celebrated for their vibrant colors, graceful figures, and the seamless integration of classical mythology with the High Renaissance style. "The Council of the Gods" is particularly noted for its dynamic composition and the skillful use of illusionistic architecture to create a sense of depth and grandeur.

The fresco has been studied extensively for its iconography, technique, and place within Raphael's oeuvre. It is considered one of the artist's most important secular works and is a key example of the cultural and artistic achievements of the Italian Renaissance. The entire series of frescoes in the Loggia of Cupid and Psyche, including "The Council of the Gods," has been influential in the history of art, inspiring subsequent generations of artists with its beauty and sophistication.
