An Allegory of Prudence

An Allegory of Prudence (c.1550) by Titian is a profound reflection on the passage of time and human wisdom. Painted in oil on canvas, this work depicts three male heads—representing youth, maturity, and old age—believed to be Titian himself, his son Orazio, and his heir Marco Vecellio. Below them, a three-headed beast—a wolf, lion, and dog—symbolizes the past, present, and future. Inscribed with “Ex praeterito praesens prudenter agit, ni futura actione deturpet” (“From the past, the present acts prudently, lest it spoil future action”), the piece embodies Renaissance humanist philosophy. A masterpiece of psychological depth and symbolic meaning, it is held in the National Gallery, London.
