In 1517, Agostino Chigi commissioned Raphael to decorate the ground floor loggia of the Villa Farnesina in Rome (located in Trastevere) in which the artist had painted the Galatea a few years before. The frescoes represent the Story of Psyche, a myth derived from the Golden Ass of Apuleius (2nd century A. D.). The cycle of pictures appears only on the ceiling. Audran’s engravings document these magnificent frescoes.
