EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the exquisite frescoes adorning the North Wall of the Chamber of Cupid and Psyche in Palazzo del Te, Mantua. Painted by Giulio Romano and his workshop between 1526 and 1528, these stunning artworks draw inspiration from Apuleius Metamorphoses. At the center of this grand composition stands Bacchus (Dionysos) and Ariadne, their figures exuding grace and passion. To the left, we witness Adonis bathing in all his youthful beauty, while on the right, Venus and Mars share an intimate moment that hints at their clandestine affair. The intricate details and vibrant colors bring life to this mythological scene. Each brushstroke tells a story as Romano masterfully depicts these legendary characters with precision and emotion. The frescoes transport us to a world where gods mingle with mortals, love intertwines with desire, and mythical tales come alive. Located within Gonzagas' summer residence, Palazzo Te is not only a testament to architectural brilliance but also serves as a visual feast for art enthusiasts. This particular chamber showcases twenty-two scenes from Apuleius Metamorphoses beautifully illustrated by Giulio Romano. As we gaze upon this print captured by Bridgeman Images, we are reminded of the timeless allure of classical mythology brought to life through artistry that transcends time itself.
