The Festival of Psyche, with Mercury from a set of Mythological Subjects after Giulio Romano designed 1684-86, woven 1689-92 Designed after drawings attributed to Giulio Romano Italian In a gently wooded landscape, mythological figures gather. Together with the contiguous scene in the tapestry the Festival of Psyche with Bacchus (53.225.9), the composition broadens to include a glorious credenza display of gilded plate with precious textiles, in a scene traditionally identified as depicting preparations for the wedding feast of Cupid and Psyche.This tapestry is from a set of eight, traditionally called Les Sujets de la Fable. The designs for all eight tapestries are based in part upon drawings then in Louis XIV's collection- now preserved in the Louvre- which were all, at that time, attributed to Giulio Romano. Four of the tapestries in this series- all of which are part of The Mets collection- ultimately take as their inspiration frescos by Giulio Romano and his assistants in the Pal
