About the Item

Oil on Canvas. School north -Italy 17th century. The scene is based, with some variations but very close in size, on a part of the large fresco entitled "Banquet of the Gods" in the Chamber of Cupid ( or the Chamber of Cupid and Psyche) in the Palazzo Té in Mantua, a large depiction of more than nine meters in length made by Giulio Romano with his workshop in the 16th century. The proposed scene (which in Mantua is placed to the right of the great banquet), sees Amore and Psyche lying on a triclinium, while a small winged figure crowns them with laurel and two nymphs wash Love's hand; in the background to the right a group of satyrs is sacrificing a goat to the altar of a deity, while in the center, in the distance, a city is burning. The banquet of the gods is the concluding moment in the myth of the two lovers, who, after many trials and vicissitudes, get permission from Venus to get married. The work, restored and retiled, is presented in antique frame.
