Légende

Ducal Palace: vault of the “Bridal Chamber or Camera Picta", which is a room located in the north-east tower of the Castle of San Giorgio in Mantua. It is famous for the cycle of frescoes that covers its walls, a masterpiece by Andrea Mantegna, created between 1465 and 1474.
Detail of the vault: “Death of Orpheus (Orpheus torn apart by the Bacchae”, a pendentive decorated with a fake bas-relief of mythological inspiration, which symbolically celebrates the strength of the marquis as a leader and statesman.
