"Venus, Ceres and Juno" is a fresco attributed to the Italian Renaissance master Raphael and his workshop, located in the Villa Farnesina in Rome. This artwork is part of a larger decorative scheme commissioned by the wealthy Sienese banker Agostino Chigi, a patron of Raphael. The fresco is believed to have been painted around 1517-1518, during a period when Raphael was also working on the Vatican Stanze and had numerous commissions that often required the assistance of his workshop.

The fresco depicts three Roman deities: Venus, the goddess of love; Ceres, the goddess of agriculture; and Juno, the queen of the gods and the goddess of marriage and childbirth. These figures are often interpreted as allegorical representations of the themes of love, fertility, and matrimonial harmony, which were suitable for the domestic setting of a Renaissance villa.

In the composition, Venus is typically shown at the center, with Cupid by her side, emphasizing the theme of love. Ceres may be identified by her association with the fruits of the earth and Juno by her regal attributes. The fresco is noted for its graceful figures, harmonious color palette, and the elegant depiction of the deities, reflecting the ideals of beauty and balance characteristic of the High Renaissance.

The fresco's attribution to Raphael is based on stylistic analysis and historical records, although it is acknowledged that his workshop played a significant role in its execution, with artists such as Giulio Romano possibly contributing to the work. The precise extent of Raphael's personal involvement in the painting of "Venus, Ceres and Juno" remains a subject of scholarly debate.

The Villa Farnesina itself is renowned for its extensive and well-preserved frescoes, which include other mythological and allegorical scenes by Raphael and his contemporaries. "Venus, Ceres and Juno" is part of a larger iconographic program within the villa that celebrates love and the joy of life, themes that were appreciated by the humanist circles of the time.

Today, the fresco is considered an important example of Renaissance art and contributes to the understanding of Raphael's work and the collaborative nature of artistic production during this period. It continues to attract scholars and art enthusiasts alike, offering insight into the cultural and aesthetic values of the Italian Renaissance.
