'''Fortitude''' is a notable work of art by Girolamo Francesco Maria Mazzola, better known as Parmigianino, a prominent Italian Mannerist painter and printmaker active during the Renaissance. This painting, created in the 16th century, exemplifies the Mannerist style, which is characterized by elongated figures, unusual complex poses, and a focus on aesthetic elegance over naturalistic representation.

The subject of the painting, Fortitude, is one of the seven virtues in classical philosophy and Christian theology, often personified as a woman. Parmigianino's depiction of Fortitude is consistent with the iconographic tradition of representing this virtue as a female figure, typically adorned with armor or holding attributes such as a club or a lion, symbolizing strength and courage.

While the exact date of creation for ''Fortitude'' is not definitively known, Parmigianino's works are generally dated between the early 1520s and his death in 1540. The painting is believed to be a part of a series representing the virtues, a common theme for artists of the time, though the whereabouts of the other paintings in the series, if they exist, are unknown.

''Fortitude'' showcases Parmigianino's skill in using color and form to convey emotion and movement, with the figure's posture and expression embodying the steadfastness and resilience the virtue represents. The elongation of the figure's limbs and the flowing drapery are typical of the Mannerist style's departure from the proportional norms of the High Renaissance.

The painting's provenance and current location are essential for art historical context, but such details are not provided in this introduction due to the lack of specific information. ''Fortitude'' remains an important work for the study of Parmigianino's oeuvre and the Mannerist period, reflecting the artist's innovative approach to composition and his influence on the development of European art.

As with many works of art from the Renaissance, ''Fortitude'' by Parmigianino is not only a testament to the artist's technical prowess but also to the cultural and philosophical ideals of the era, encapsulating the enduring human fascination with the concept of moral and physical strength.
