"Temperance" is a fresco by the Italian Renaissance painter Paolo Veronese, also known as Paolo Caliari. This artwork is part of a series of allegorical representations of virtues that adorn the walls of the sacristy in the Church of San Sebastiano, Venice, which is considered one of Veronese's most significant decorative projects. Painted in the late 1550s, "Temperance" embodies the Renaissance interpretation of the virtue, which traditionally symbolizes moderation and self-restraint.

In the fresco, Temperance is personified as a female figure, a common practice for allegorical representations during the Renaissance. Veronese's mastery of color and form is evident in the work, with the figure often depicted holding a bridle or a bit, which are symbols associated with the control one must exert over their desires and impulses, in accordance with the virtue's meaning. The fresco's composition, use of perspective, and the interplay of light and shadow reflect the artist's Venetian heritage and his place among the great colorists of the Renaissance.

The sacristy of San Sebastiano, where "Temperance" is located, is a testament to Veronese's artistic contribution to the Venetian school and provides a rich context for the fresco within the broader scope of his work. The church itself has become a destination for art historians and enthusiasts who seek to experience the harmony and elegance of Veronese's art in situ. As with many of Veronese's frescoes, "Temperance" is not only a visual representation of a moral virtue but also an example of the artist's ability to infuse his works with a sense of grace and nobility.
