"Four Allegories" (also known as "Four Allegories of Wisdom") is a series of paintings by the Italian Renaissance master Giovanni Bellini, created around 1490. These allegorical works are renowned for their intricate symbolism and the fusion of Christian and classical themes, reflecting the humanist thought of the time. Each painting in the series represents a different allegorical concept, often personified by figures and accompanied by various attributes that enhance the symbolic meaning.

The series typically includes the following allegories: "Falsehood" (or "Deceit"), "Prudence," "Fortitude," and "Temperance." These virtues and vices were common subjects in Renaissance art, embodying moral and philosophical ideas that were central to the era's intellectual discourse. Bellini's treatment of these themes is notable for its subtlety and the psychological depth he imparts to the figures.

"Falsehood" (or "Wisdom") is particularly intriguing for its depiction of a figure often interpreted as a siren or a deceitful woman, representing the dangers of seduction and the transient nature of earthly pleasures. The other allegories in the series similarly explore the tension between virtue and vice, the spiritual and the temporal, and the quest for moral integrity.

Giovanni Bellini's "Four Allegories" are celebrated for their coloristic brilliance and the serene yet expressive character of the figures, which exemplify the artist's mastery of oil painting—a technique he helped to pioneer in Venice. The paintings are also significant for their influence on subsequent generations of artists, who drew inspiration from Bellini's harmonious compositions and his ability to convey complex ideas through visual art.

Today, the "Four Allegories" are held in high esteem as masterpieces of the Italian Renaissance, offering insight into the period's cultural and philosophical preoccupations, as well as Bellini's own artistic legacy. They continue to be the subject of scholarly study and are appreciated by audiences for their beauty and depth of meaning.
