Plate 9: Allegory of Temperance with a unicorn and Publius Scipio Africanus at bottom, from Barberinae aulae fornix
Not on view
This print is from a series of plates loosely stitched together representing Pietro da Cortona's ceiling frescoes 'Allegory of Divine Providence and Barberini Power' for the salone of Palazzo Barberini, Rome painted 1630-33. The prints are dedicated to Gaspar de Guzman, Count of Olivares and Duke of Sanlucar (1587-1645). The frontispiece bares the name of Giovanni Giacomo de Rossi who published the series.
