View of the Sala di Giove
by CORTONA, Pietro da, Fresco and stucco work
The Sala di Giove (Hall of Jupiter) is one of the most magnificent of all rooms in the Palazzo Pitti. It was designed for Ferdinando II de’ Medici as a Throne Room. The frescoed ceiling by Pietro da Cortona echoes this theme by portraying Jupiter about to crown the young prince.
