This photograph shows the Camerino, on the first or principal floor of the Palazzo Farnese in Rome. Its painted ceiling is covered in frescos with the centrepiece filled by a copy of The Choice of Hercules (Ercole al Bivio) by Annibale Carracci (1560–1609). Above and below the centrepiece are two further oval scenes that depict Hercules Resting and Hercules supporting the Globe.
