note: The division of labor between artists has been proposed thus; Penni, as artist behind Venus and Jupiter; Mercury; and Psyche Bringing the Water from the River Styx to Venus; Raffaellino conjured Venus and Cupid from designs by Giulio Romano as well as the triangular compartments showing putti; and the remaining pendentives were Giulio Romano's creation.
