Fotoreproductie van fresco Cupido toont Psyche aan de Gratiën door Rafaël, Farnesina te Rome, RP-F-1993-7-18

The winged god Cupid gestures toward Psyche, who stands with her back to the viewer, as they approach the Three Graces. The mythological figures are set against a backdrop of clouds and framed by heavy, ornate garlands of various fruits and flowers. This scene is a detail from the larger decorative cycle in the Loggia di Psiche at the Villa Farnesina in Rome.

The story of Cupid and Psyche served as a central Neoplatonic allegory for the soul's journey, purification, and eventual union with divine love. Raphael's cycle, based on the text of Apuleius, represents the high Renaissance synthesis of classical mythology and the philosophical pursuit of spiritual immortality.
