Triumph of Chastity

Triumph of Chastity is a c.1530 oil on canvas allegorical painting by Lorenzo Lotto, now in the Rospigliosi Pallavicini collection in Rome. It is signed at bottom right "Laurentius Lotus" and shows a female personification of Chastity (left) driving away Cupid and Venus - the Venus is based on that on an ancient Roman sarcophagus now in the Vatican Museums.[1]
