Allegory of Temperance
The four cardinal virtues by Agnolo Gaddi
Loggia dei Lanzi
Piazza della Signoria
Florence, December 2018
“On the façade of the Loggia, below the parapet, are trefoils with allegorical figures of the four cardinal virtues (Fortitude, Temperance, Justice, and Prudence) by Agnolo Gaddi. Their blue enamelled background is the work of Leonardo, a monk, while the golden stars were painted by Lorenzo de' Bicci. The vault, composed of semicircles, was done by the Florentine Antonio de' Pucci.” (Loggia dei Lanzi, Wikipedia)
