The fifth panel. At a magnificent wedding feast Bacchus gives the guests cups of nectar, the drink of the gods. Mars has prepared the food, Apollo plays the kithara and the Muses sing. The Horae, the goddesses of the seasons, have decked everyone in roses and other flowers. The Graces sprinkle balsam around.

The Story of Psyche incorporated numerous artistic impressions garnered by Denis. In each panel we can detect the use of classical prototypes. In the fifth panel, for example, the depiction of Jupiter reflects impressions from the large statue of the king of the gods in the Vatican Museum, the nude female figure at the bottom right those from Titian's 1508 painting Le Concert champкtre (The Country Concert) (Louvre, Paris).

The prototype for Venus in the fifth panel (the nude woman wearing a wreath of white roses) was Marthe Denis, the artist's wife. In the bearded Bacchus with a wreath of vine-leaves Denis depicted his friend, the sculptor Aristide Maillol, while his fellow artist Ker-Xavier Roussel became Mars, the god of war.
