The paintings in the Villa Chigi aka Farnesina the Loggia di Psiche, plate 3 PK-P-126.220

This engraving shows three spandrels from a famous fresco cycle, framed by heavy garlands of fruit and flowers. In the center, Cupid consults with the Three Graces about his love for the mortal Psyche, while the side panels show young cupids brandishing Neptune's trident and Pluto's bident to signify love's power over all realms. The composition illustrates the universal triumph of love over the gods of the sea and the underworld.

Based on Apuleius's 'The Golden Ass,' this cycle was interpreted by Renaissance Neoplatonists as an allegory of the human soul (Psyche) and its purification through the trials of love (Cupid). It reflects the humanist belief in 'Omnia vincit Amor' (Love conquers all), a central theme in the philosophical circles of the 16th century.
