EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the grandeur and opulence of "The noble banquet celebrating the marriage of Cupid and Psyche" from the Sala di Amore e Psiche. Painted by Giulio Romano in 1527-31, this fresco transports us to a world where gods and mortals converge in a lavish celebration. In this magnificent scene, we witness an array of mythical figures reclining on sumptuous seats, indulging in a feast fit for divinity. The mannerist style is evident in every detail, with intricate patterns adorning the bower that encloses them. Silenus, draped in his characteristic nudity, presides over the banquet while an elephant and camel stand as exotic symbols of luxury. An ornate urn takes center stage amidst the festivities, flanked by majestic lions and mischievous putti who add their playful charm to the occasion. The divine presence is palpable as Ceres, Juno, Vulcan, Apollo, Dionysus - all gods themselves - grace this joyous wedding ceremony with their celestial aura. Zephyrus gently hovers above Psyche's head while Silene tenderly embraces Cupid; love personified through these ethereal beings. Amidst this enchanting atmosphere filled with deities and mythological creatures alike lies an underlying message: love conquers all. Giulio Romano's masterpiece immortalizes not only a momentous event but also reminds us that even within realms beyond our comprehension or imagination; love remains
