Contributions to the debate of the iconographic meaning of the final painting of Titian (1560- 1575): The Prudence as First Virtue of the Fine Artist.
Abstract
This essay, following the iconographic model and study Panofsky developed in his work Problems in Titian, Mostly Iconographic, tries to respond to the main challenges of the meaning of the paintings of the great Venetian painter, in order to create an academic debate about the significance of the concept of virtue in the artist, through the division established by Tatarkiewicz. In this sense, this paper emphasizes whether the significance of the Allegory of Prudence of Titian lies in the perceiver or rather in the artist.
