"Prudence: A Timeless Virtue in Art and Life" In the realm of art, it has been depicted in various forms throughout history. From Lady Prudence Jellicoe's graceful Swallow Dive in 1913 to the vibrant Ligurian allegorical chariot driven by Prudence in 1700, her presence is undeniable. One can trace the concept back centuries, as seen in the fresco "Allegory of Obedience" from c. 1330 and Marcantonio Raimondi's portrayal of a woman personifying Prudence ca. 1515-25. These artworks remind us that prudence is not merely a fleeting trend but an enduring virtue. The significance extends beyond art into our daily lives. It guides us on the Ladder of Fortune towards achieving our dreams, as depicted in "The Ladder of Fortune, to the American Dream" lithograph from 1875. Like Porta Della Carta guarding Venice's secrets or Bernini's Tomb of Pope Alexander VII symbolizing wisdom and foresight, prudence acts as a compass for navigating life's challenges. Even within Tarot cards like Etteilla Tarot cards or Philip Galle's depiction from ca. 1559-60 titled "Prudentia, " we find representations of this essential virtue. Whether it be through divination or visual storytelling, these images remind us to exercise caution and thoughtfulness when making decisions. Marcantonio Raimondi continues his exploration with Prudence portrayed as a young woman sitting on a lion while restraining a dragon ca. 1510-27—a powerful metaphor for taming one’s impulses and exercising self-control. In The Room of the Oil Lamp fresco from 1560-1561 at Genoa Duomo (St Lawrence Cathedral), we witness how Prudence intertwines with other virtues such as Man's Virtue.
