## Commentary

Beaumont&#39;s contribution to the painting of the Palazzo Reale includes four living rooms and two galleries. In the Regio Gabinetto \(the king&#39;s workroom\) Beaumont illustrated the virtues appropriate to a monarch. Guided by Ethical Wisdom \(Sapienza Morale\), Hercules, as a personification of virtue and competence, is crowned by Justitia.
