One may find an implied binary opposition present in this statement. The emperor and an artist are two different entities from two different domains. King is the ruler of a place and has everything and everyone at his beck and call whereas an artist has a different sense of superiority.
Emperor stands for the materialistic gains and artist aspires for transcendental excellence. This tends to signify that the artistic worldview of an artist serves to be the guiding beacon light for the worldly accomplishments of an emperor.
