Prudence, c. 1470, is a notable work attributed to the Italian Renaissance artist Piero del Pollaiolo. Piero, along with his brother Antonio del Pollaiolo, was a prominent figure in the Florentine art scene during the 15th century. The painting is part of a series of Virtues commissioned for the Tribunal Hall of the Mercanzia in Florence, an institution responsible for the administration of justice among merchants. This series was intended to depict the seven cardinal and theological virtues, with each virtue personified in a distinct and symbolic manner.

Prudence, as a virtue, is often associated with wisdom, foresight, and the ability to judge between actions with regard to appropriate actions at a given time. In Piero del Pollaiolo's depiction, Prudence is typically represented as a dignified woman holding a mirror and a snake, symbols that reflect self-awareness and cautious wisdom. The mirror signifies self-knowledge and truth, while the snake, often associated with the ancient symbol of the ouroboros, represents cyclical nature and the continuity of life, as well as the need for careful deliberation.

The painting exemplifies the stylistic characteristics of the early Renaissance, with a focus on naturalism, detailed attention to human anatomy, and the use of perspective to create a sense of depth. Piero del Pollaiolo's work is also noted for its dynamic composition and the expressive quality of the figures, which convey a sense of movement and life.

Prudence, c. 1470, remains an important example of Renaissance art, reflecting the period's philosophical and cultural values. It is also a testament to the collaborative spirit of the Pollaiolo brothers, who were instrumental in advancing the techniques and themes that defined the Florentine Renaissance. The painting is currently housed in the Uffizi Gallery in Florence, where it continues to be studied and admired by art historians and visitors alike.
