Description
Pallas and the Centaur, painting by the Italian Renaissance painter Sandro Botticelli, c. 1482. Uffizi Gallery, Florence, Italy.
Interpretation (Wikipedia)
( Source )
"Pallas [Athena] is a figure of reason, restraining the beast of our nature – also represented by the centaur – by the hair and looking at it with no fear. This has been connected with Sigmund Freud’s theory of the unconscious, and also to the Renaissance Neo-Platonist Marsilio Ficino's idea of the human soul as part animal and part human. It has been interpreted as an allegory on the peace after the Pazzi wars."
