Object Description · Getty Museum

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.

The arms belong to the Gabbrielli and Luti families, who celebrated a wedding in 1464. Artists often painted *cassoni*, chests designed to carry a bride's trousseau, with such themes as the Triumph of Chastity, invoking the bride to honor the sanctity of marriage and warning her of the consequences if she does not. *Cassoni* panels such as this one also often featured processions, recalling the nuptial processions in which the chests traveled with the bride to her husband's home. The ethereal figures, delicate linearity, and intricate patterning of the scene betray Francesco di Giorgio Martini's Sienese origins.

What the image shows

A medieval-style painting depicting a group of people gathered around a central figure on a white horse, with architectural elements and mythical creatures.

Generated by LinkedCulture from the photograph alone, without the museum’s catalogue text (Qwen/Qwen2.5-VL-7B-Instruct), and not yet reviewed by a person. It describes the picture, not the object’s history, and it is not part of the museum’s record.
