An Allegory of Chastity
Francesco Parolini (?)18th century (?)
Musei di Arte Antica
Ferrara, Italy
The subject refers to the virtues linked to the girls homes and has led to the theory that
it comes from the ceiling of the church of Saint Margaret, which has similar decorations,
made by Scarsellino and Bononi, which were repainted by Francesco Parolini shortly before 1773.
