Triumph of Chastity

The chariot of Chastity (Pudicitia), a veiled woman, is drawn by unicorns, legendary chaste animals. Cupid sits blindfolded and bound to her feet. In the procession walk chaste figures from history, the Bible and classical mythology, for example the Roman general Scipio, Joseph, Susanna and the chaste Judith, with in her hand the head of Holofernes. Also the virtues Self-control (Continentia) and Temperance (Temperantia) are present in the procession. The chariot drives towards the temple of Chastity. The print has a Latin inscription and is part of the series about the Triumphs of Petrarch.
