Abstract (en)

Discusses iconography of Lorenzo Leonbruno's mural paintings in the Camera dello Zodiaco of the Castello di S. Giorgio, Mantua. Focuses on the ceiling which, it is demonstrated here, depicts Federico II as Hercules at the center of a detailed and accurate rendering of his horoscopic chart.
