The Story of Cupid and Psyche is a series of frescoes created by the renowned Italian Renaissance artist Raphael (Raffaello Sanzio of Urbino) and his workshop. These frescoes are located in the Villa Farnesina in Rome, a Renaissance villa built for the wealthy Sienese banker Agostino Chigi. Painted between 1517 and 1518, the frescoes illustrate the classical myth of Cupid and Psyche as recounted in Apuleius's "Metamorphoses" (also known as "The Golden Ass").

The narrative of Cupid and Psyche is a tale of love, jealousy, and redemption. Psyche, a mortal woman of extraordinary beauty, incurs the wrath of Venus, the goddess of love, who sends her son Cupid to make Psyche fall in love with a hideous creature. Instead, Cupid falls in love with Psyche himself, leading to a series of trials and tribulations that ultimately result in Psyche's apotheosis and her union with Cupid.

Raphael's frescoes capture the essence of this myth through a series of vivid and dynamic compositions. The scenes are characterized by their graceful figures, harmonious compositions, and the use of vibrant colors, which are hallmarks of Raphael's mature style. The frescoes are arranged in a continuous narrative, guiding the viewer through the various episodes of the story.

The Villa Farnesina itself is a masterpiece of Renaissance architecture and interior decoration, and Raphael's frescoes are among its most celebrated features. The frescoes not only exemplify Raphael's artistic genius but also reflect the cultural and intellectual milieu of the High Renaissance, a period marked by a renewed interest in classical antiquity and humanist ideals.

Raphael's work on The Story of Cupid and Psyche is a testament to his ability to blend classical themes with Renaissance aesthetics, creating a timeless narrative that continues to captivate audiences to this day.
