"Cupid and Psyche" is a renowned painting by the Italian High Renaissance artist Raphael. The work, which dates back to the early 16th century, is part of a series of frescoes that adorn the Villa Farnesina in Rome, a mansion owned by the wealthy banker Agostino Chigi. Raphael and his workshop were commissioned to decorate the loggia of the villa with scenes from classical mythology, and "Cupid and Psyche" is among the central narratives depicted.

The painting illustrates the climax of the mythological tale from "The Golden Ass" by Apuleius, where the mortal princess Psyche is united with her lover Cupid, the god of love, after overcoming numerous trials set by Venus, Cupid's jealous mother. Raphael's interpretation of the story is celebrated for its harmonious composition, graceful figures, and the delicate interplay of human and divine love.

In the fresco, Raphael employs a dynamic yet balanced arrangement of figures, capturing the moment of Psyche's apotheosis as she is granted immortality to be with Cupid. The scene is set within a lush, idyllic landscape that enhances the romantic and ethereal quality of the narrative. The use of vibrant colors and fluid lines contributes to the overall elegance and serenity of the piece.

"Cupid and Psyche" is often lauded for its embodiment of the ideals of the High Renaissance, showcasing Raphael's mastery of perspective, anatomy, and the use of light and shadow to create a three-dimensional effect on a two-dimensional surface. The fresco is a testament to Raphael's ability to convey complex narratives through art and is considered one of the masterpieces of Renaissance painting.

The work has been influential in the history of art, inspiring numerous artists and becoming a touchstone for discussions on the visual representation of mythological subjects. Today, "Cupid and Psyche" remains an important part of Raphael's oeuvre and continues to be admired for its beauty and its significant contribution to the canon of Western art.
