"Pallas and the Centaur" is a painting by the Italian Renaissance master Sandro Botticelli, dated to around 1482. The tempera on canvas work measures 207 x 148 cm and is currently housed in the Uffizi Gallery in Florence, Italy. The painting depicts a mythological scene in which Pallas Athena, the Greek goddess of wisdom, courage, and warfare, is shown grasping a centaur by the hair. The centaur, a creature with the upper body of a human and the lower body of a horse, symbolizes animal passion and irrationality, which Pallas is believed to be subduing with her serene and commanding presence, thus representing the triumph of reason over base instincts.

The artwork is notable for its allegorical content and is often interpreted as a symbol of the Medici family's power during the Renaissance, with Pallas possibly representing a member of the Medici family, such as Lorenzo de' Medici or his cousin Lorenzo di Pierfrancesco de' Medici, who were patrons of Botticelli. The painting's precise meaning, however, remains a subject of scholarly debate, with various interpretations suggesting themes of chastity, wisdom, and the civilizing force of culture.

"Pallas and the Centaur" is characterized by its elegant linear style, graceful figures, and the use of classical motifs, which are hallmarks of Botticelli's work. The composition's harmony and the delicate rendering of the figures' drapery and expressions reflect the artist's mastery of the Early Renaissance style. The painting is one of several mythological works by Botticelli, which include "The Birth of Venus" and "Primavera," and it contributes to our understanding of the cultural and intellectual milieu of Florence during the height of the Renaissance.
