Oil on canvas. Northern Italian school from the 17th century. The scene refers, with some variations but very close in size, to a part of the large fresco entitled "Banquet of the Gods" in the Cupid's Chamber (or Chamber of Love and Psyche) of Palazzo Té in Mantua, a large representation of over nine meters created by Giulio Romano with his workshop in the 16th century. The proposed scene (which in Mantua is located on the right of the great banquet), sees Cupid and Psyche lying on a triclinium, while a small winged figure crowns them with laurel and two nymphs wash Cupid's hand; in the background on 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 burns. The banquet of the gods is the concluding moment of the myth of the two lovers, who, after many trials and tribulations, obtain the permission of Venus to marry. The work, restored and relined, is presented in an antique frame.
