Triumph of Chastity, mid-1460s. Additional Info: A chastised Cupid with bound arms and clipped wings walks before a unicorn-drawn chariot carrying the enthroned figure of Chastity to her six-sided temple. At either end of the panel is a bird, possibly a swan, which also symbolized chastity, draped with an escutcheon displaying a coat of arms. The arms belong to the Gabbrielli and Luti families, who celebrated a wedding in 1464.
