Philips Galle, La Temperanza. 1560.
Est: €380 - €760
Bulino. mm 223x290. New Hollstein (Pieter Bruegel the Elder), 19. Tavola dalle Sette Virtù serie databile al 1559-1560 tratta da soggetti di Pieter Bruegel il vecchio. Sul primo piano al centro si erge una figura allegorica con gli attributi della Temperanza (orologio sulla testa, morso in bocca, occhiali in mano e la pala di un mulino a vento sotto il piede). Attorno si trovano vari gruppi in rappresentanza delle arti liberali. Due astronomi stanno cercando di misurare la Terra e la distanza tra la Terra e la Luna. Tuttavia, sono ostacolati perché il pianeta ruota sul proprio asse; infatti, l'astronomo che si trova sulla Terra e si protende verso la Luna rischia di cadere a causa della rotazione.Quindi sebbene la virtù della Temperanza sia alla base di tutte le arti, nessuna di esse riconosce i propri limiti. Sia la scultura che la pittura sono annoverate nel gruppo delle arti liberali. Bellissima impressione nel I stato avanti la modifica dell'iscrizione al margine. (1) Esemplare rifilato all'interno dell'impronta della lastra e applicato a pieno su foglio di carta vergellata moderna.
