Image description

Rome, Villa Farnesina, Loggia of Cupid and Psyche: view of the vault. In the centre, two fictive tapestries include the concluding scenes: the splendid Council of the Gods, where the unjustly persecuted girl is finally received by the gods with divine complacence, and the Marriage of Cupid and Psyche, the symbolic culmination of the entire cycle. The Loggia takes its name from the decoration frescoed on the vault by Raphael and his workshop in 1517-18. The frescos represent episodes from the fable of Psyche, narrated in Apuleiu’s Golden Ass, which had already been used in the fifteenth century for nuptial imagery. To give the space a festive and theatrical feel to it, Raphael also transformed the vault of the Loggia into a pergola, adorned with magnificent hanging festoons, as though the greenery of the gardens had invaded the Villa itself. However, although the general layout of the cycle and planning of the individual scenes and figures are attributed to the intuitive genius of Raphael (proven by a number of autographic sketches). Roma, Villa Farnesina, Loggia di Amore e Psiche: veduta della volta. Al centro del complesso sistema figurativo spiccano le grandi rappresentazioni del Concilio degli dei e del Convito nuziale, (di Amore e Psiche) tra finti arazzi tesi tra festoni. Nei peducci si trovano i vari episodi delle Storie di Amore e Psiche. Nelle vele sopra le lunette putti con gli attributi delle varie divinità. Gli affreschi (1917-18) sono opera di Raffaello e dei suoi allievi (Raffaellino del Colle, Giovan Francesco Penni, Giulio Romano, Giovanni da Udine). Gli affreschi vennero sicuramente disegnati da Raffaello, ma la stesura spetta soprattutto alla sua scuola. La presenza degli intrecci vegetali accresce il senso di continuum della loggia con il giardino; vi sono riconoscibili la bellezza di circa duecento specie botaniche, soprattutto domestiche, tra cui anche numerose piante importate dalle Americhe, scoperte solo pochi anni prima
