Description:
|
|
Painted for Giovanni and Lorenzo di Pierfrancesco de' Medici in the early 1480s. At the Uffizi since 1922. A centaur has trespassed on forbidden territory. This lusty being, half horse and half man, is being brought under control by a guard armed with a shield and halberd, and she has grabbed him by the hair. The woman has been identified both as the goddess Pallas Athena and the Amazon Camilla, chaste heroine of Virgil's Aeneid. What is undisputed is the moral content of the painting, in which virtue is victorious over sensuality. This painting marked the end of Botticelli's Medici period and from this point on his subject-matter becomes increasingly religious.
