caption: RAPHAEL SANZIO (March 28 or April 6, 1483 – April 6, 1520) Three cupids bring Psyche to Venus, after she has passed the last test: descending into the Underworld and obtaining the water of beauty from Proserpina. Detail from the fresco cycle ''Stories of Cupid and Psyche'' taken from Apuleius' Metamorphoses, by Raphael and his students (Raffaellino del Colle, Giovan Francesco Penni, Giulio Romano), the scenes are inserted in an interweaving of plant festoons, the work of another student, Giovanni da Udine (1517, revised by Carlo Maratta in 1693-1694). The frescoes were certainly designed by Raphael, but the drafting is mainly the work of his school. Villa Farnesina, Rome 1509 - 1514
