''Truth Unveiled by Time'' is a marble sculpture by Gian Lorenzo Bernini, conceived as part of a pair with another sculpture, ''An Allegory of Charity'', around 1645. Bernini, a preeminent sculptor of the Baroque period, intended to complement the representation of Charity with the personification of Truth. The work is notable for its unfinished state, with Bernini having only completed the figure of Truth itself, while the allegorical figure of Time was never executed in marble.

The sculpture of Truth is depicted as a nude female figure, reclining on her side and holding a sunburst to her chest, symbolizing the light of truth. The figure's dynamic posture and the detailed treatment of the marble are characteristic of Bernini's virtuosic ability to convey soft flesh and complex textures in stone. The unfinished nature of the work provides a unique insight into Bernini's artistic process, as well as the economic and political circumstances that may have influenced the cessation of work on the piece.

Originally intended for the tomb of Pope Urban VIII, the sculpture's allegorical theme reflects the Baroque era's fascination with time, truth, and the revelation of hidden meanings. The absence of the Time figure, which was to unveil Truth, adds a layer of interpretive complexity to the work, inviting speculation about the interplay between the seen and unseen, the complete and the incomplete.

Today, ''Truth Unveiled by Time'' remains an important work in the oeuvre of Gian Lorenzo Bernini, showcasing his mastery of form and his philosophical engagement with the concepts of time and veracity. The sculpture is housed in the Galleria Borghese in Rome, a testament to Bernini's enduring legacy in the pantheon of art history.
