Camera degli Imperatori
Detta anche dell'imperatore, o di Cesare, per il soggetto
dei dipinti, che esaltano la magnanimita degli antichi condottieri. A
tre episodi di storia antica si affiancano ritratti di re, imperatori
e guerrieri.
Room of the Emperors
Known also as the Room of the Emperor, or of Caesar,
because of its paintings celebrating the noble spirits of ancient leaders.
Three episodes from ancient history (from the lives of Julius Caesar,
Alexander the Great and Scipio) are accompanied by portraits of kings,
emperors and warriors. The references to ancient leaders pay homage to
Federico II's liege lord, the Emperor Charles V.
