Venus Appeals to Ceres and JunoRaphael, Giovanni da Udine

163
In this scene (1518), Raphael depicts Venus appealing to Ceres and Juno for vengeance on Psyche, but both goddesses refuse. The fresco illustrates the tension between divine power and mortal love. Da Udine’s elaborate botanical festoons frame the composition, enhancing its Renaissance richness.
