In this charming scene (c. 1518), Raphael shows Venus pleading with her father Jupiter to punish Psyche, who has captured Cupid’s love. Using her beauty to persuade him, Venus requests Mercury be sent to announce a reward: Psyche’s capture in exchange for seven kisses and a honeyed caress, reflecting divine jealousy and intrigue.
