Painting Description
"Temperance 1470" is a painting by the Italian Renaissance artist Piero del Pollaiuolo, also known as Piero Benci. As its name suggests, the work was completed around 1470 and is a representation of the virtue of temperance, one of the four cardinal virtues in classical philosophy, which were later adopted by Christian ethics. The painting is part of a series that depicted these virtues, which also included prudence, justice, and fortitude.
In "Temperance 1470," Pollaiuolo portrays the titular virtue as a young woman, which was a common personification in Renaissance art. The figure is typically shown with symbolic attributes that convey her nature, such as a bridle or reins, which represent the restraint of desires, and a clock or an hourglass, indicating the measured use of time. The exact attributes included in Pollaiuolo's depiction may vary based on the artist's interpretation and the condition of the surviving artwork.
Piero del Pollaiuolo, the brother of the more famous Antonio del Pollaiuolo, was active in Florence and known for his paintings, as well as his work in other media such as engraving and stained glass. His style was influenced by the leading artists of his time, including his brother and Andrea del Verrocchio, and is characterized by a detailed approach to anatomy and movement, as well as an interest in the psychological portrayal of his subjects.
The painting "Temperance 1470" would have been commissioned for a domestic or ecclesiastical setting, serving both as an art object and as a didactic piece to remind viewers of the importance of living a virtuous life. The work is an example of the Florentine school's contributions to the iconography of virtue during the Renaissance.
As of the knowledge cutoff date, the current location or condition of "Temperance 1470" is not specified, and further details about the painting's provenance, critical reception, and art historical significance would be necessary to provide a more complete picture of its place within Piero del Pollaiuolo's oeuvre and Renaissance art in general.
