EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a masterpiece titled "Temperance" from the late 17th century. Painted by an anonymous Franco-Flemish artist, this oil on canvas artwork measures 122.5x102 cm and is currently housed in the prestigious Ashmolean Museum at the University of Oxford, UK. The painting depicts a woman personifying Temperance, one of the cardinal virtues. Dressed in elegant attire, she exudes grace and poise as she holds a cup and balances it with her other hand. The artist skillfully captures her serene expression, emphasizing her self-control and moderation. With its rich colors and intricate details, this work exemplifies the beauty of Western art from the 17th century. The female figure symbolizes not only temperance but also represents allegory itself—a visual representation of abstract concepts. As we admire this remarkable piece, we are transported back in time to an era when art was used to convey moral lessons through powerful imagery. This print serves as a reminder of our universal human quest for balance and harmony in all aspects of life. Bridgeman Images has expertly captured every brushstroke and nuance of this historic artwork so that viewers can appreciate its beauty for years to come.
