Prudence is portrayed as a young woman holding a mirror (for self-reflection and conscience) and a serpent (from Matthew 10:16: “Be wise as serpentsâ€), symbolizing vigilance and wisdom.Greek prudence, originally practical wisdom, was adopted into Christian thought by figures like Cicero, St. Augustine, and Thomas Aquinas, who made it a cardinal virtue guiding others (justice, temperance, courage). It combined reason, memory of the past, and foresight.Vintage engraving circa mid 19th century. Digital restoration - no AI - by Pictore.
