EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the allegorical figures of Prudence, Temperance, Fortitude, and Justice from the 13th century. The image is taken from "La Somme Le Roy" a French production that was part of the Illuminated Manuscripts in the British Museum collection. Illustrated by George F Warner in 1899, this series beautifully captures the essence of these virtues. In this mesmerizing artwork, we witness four powerful female figures embodying different qualities essential for leading a virtuous life. Prudence stands tall with wisdom radiating from her eyes as she holds an open book symbolizing knowledge and discernment. Temperance gracefully balances a cup and water jug representing self-control over indulgence. Fortitude exudes strength while clutching an axe to demonstrate resilience and determination even in challenging times. Lastly, Justice holds scales to signify fairness and impartiality. The vibrant colors used in this medieval masterpiece add depth to each character's significance within society during that era. The intricate details on their garments reflect discipline and refinement. This print serves as a reminder of timeless values that remain relevant today—values such as wisdom, self-control, strength, and justice continue to guide individuals towards leading meaningful lives filled with purposeful actions. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of artistry captured by Sir George Frederic Warner himself through his lens, let us appreciate its historical importance while drawing inspiration from these allegorical figures who personify virtues worth cherishing throughout time.
