"Fortitude and Temperance with Six Antique Heroes" is a renowned fresco painted in 1497 by Pietro Vannucci, commonly known as Perugino, an Italian Renaissance painter whose work was emblematic of the Umbrian school. This fresco is part of a series that adorned the Collegio del Cambio in Perugia, Italy, showcasing Perugino's mastery in creating harmonious compositions that blend classical ideals with Christian themes. The Collegio del Cambio, serving as the exchange guild's headquarters, was a significant civic building in Perugia, and Perugino's frescoes were intended to reflect the virtues and historical precedents that were esteemed by the guild members.

In "Fortitude and Temperance with Six Antique Heroes," Perugino illustrates two of the cardinal virtues, Fortitude and Temperance, alongside six figures from classical antiquity who embody these virtues. The inclusion of classical heroes alongside Christian virtues reflects the Renaissance humanist belief in the compatibility of classical and Christian values, a hallmark of the period's intellectual and artistic endeavors. The fresco is celebrated for its clarity of composition, the serenity of its figures, and its detailed, idyllic landscapes, which were influential in the development of Renaissance art.

Perugino's work on the Collegio del Cambio frescoes, including "Fortitude and Temperance with Six Antique Heroes," is considered among his finest, showcasing his ability to convey complex philosophical ideas through art. His use of perspective, refined color palette, and the graceful postures of his figures contribute to the fresco's enduring significance in the study of Renaissance art. Through this work, Perugino not only exemplified the ideals of the Renaissance but also influenced subsequent generations of artists, including his famous pupil, Raphael. The fresco remains a pivotal example of the integration of classical themes with Christian iconography, reflecting the broader cultural currents of the Italian Renaissance.
