For what purpose was the Camera degli Sposi (Bridal Chamber) painted by Andrea Mantegna?

To honor the ruling family

The Camera degli Sposi, located in the Ducal Palace of Mantua, is a masterpiece of Italian Renaissance painting, completed in 1474. Mantegna created a fascinating spatial illusion through frescoes that cover the walls and ceiling, giving the impression of an opening to the sky. The work aims to celebrate and glorify the Gonzaga family, who were the rulers at the time, through detailed scenes of court life and allegories symbolizing their power and wisdom.
