Italian painter Lorenzo Lotto painted this allegorical work depicting the personification of Prudence and Wisdom. The piece reflects Renaissance interest in classical virtues and symbolic representation, rendered with Lotto's characteristic sensitivity to color and detail.
Lotto was a Venetian painter who developed a more personal, psychologically complex style than many of his contemporaries. This allegory can be found at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, DC.
