Der Kampf von Liebe gegen Keuschheit
um 1475–1500
London, National Gallery, Saal 59 (Inventar-Nr. NG1196)
The Combat of Love and Chastity
The painting illustrates Petrarch's poem The Triumph of Chastity. Love's arrows break against Chastity's shield; she waves the chain with which he will be bound. This was probably made for a piece of Florentine furniture.
