Temperance’s Iconographic Type in the “New Visuality”
Abstract
The visuality of Temperance arose in Middle Ages with the predominance of Italian trends. During the 15th and 16th centuries, a new iconographic type for Temperance appeared in the French scope of the “new visuality” providing new attributes. This innovation was the iconic depiction of the features that thinkers attributed to this virtue. The present research is about the appearance, analysis, continuity, and variation of the iconographic type of Temperance in the “new visuality”. Thereby, visual innovation is explained from its relation with written sources and the continuity and variation of images.
