One of them, ''Fortitude'', was painted on poplar wood by Creator/SandroBotticelli. The other six (''Temperance'', ''Faith'', ''Charity'', ''Hope'', ''Justice'' and ''Prudence'') were painted on cypress wood by Piero del Pollaiolo. The reason Botticelli painted only one is because del Pollaiolo wrestled the commission from him in his favor after contesting the choice of artist by the Tribunale di Mercanzia.

The most well known of the panel, this painting is Creator/SandroBotticelli's first known masterpiece. Unlike del Pollaiolo's cypress panels, it was painted on poplar, a very traditionally [[UsefulNotes/TheBraveRegionsOfItalia Tuscan]] medium back then. The model for the woman has been speculated to be Lucrezia Donati, a mistress of Lorenzo "The Magnificent" de' Medici.

!!Tropes:

* AllegoricalCharacter: A regal and armored woman as an allegory of fortitude.
* AnthropomorphicPersonification: Fortitude symbolized as a regal and armored woman.
* BattleBallgown: The woman wears a plated armor underneath her robes.
* BlingOfWar: From what we can see, the woman's armor is very elaborate, especially its shoulder (with a dragon wing-like golden decoration) and breastplate (with what appears to be diamonds as "nipples") sections.
* CastOfPersonifications: One out of the seven personifications of ''Virtues'' that were commissioned to Botticelli and Pollaiolo by Tommaso Soderini.
* ColorContrast: The soft and vivid red mantle contrasts the cold and harsh gray and dark blue of the armored parts.
* CoolChair: The woman sits on an elaborate throne the back of which resembles the architecture of a church's choir.
* CoolCrown: The woman wears a diadem with embedded pearls that point towards the sky.
* LadyOfWar: The woman looks ready for war as she wears armor, although that could also be parade armor considering how ornate it is.
* LeaningOnTheFurniture: The woman's left arm leans on a side of the throne.
* RedIsHeroic: The woman's red mantle is a symbol of courage, which is associated with fortitude. Or, in this context, the strength that one must have when overcoming hardship.
* ShownTheirWork: The very detailed armor is proof that Botticelli had a certain amount of knowledge in goldsmithing.
* ShowWithinAShow: There are paintings within the painting, those on the ceiling of the church choir-like structure behind the woman more precisely.
* StaffOfAuthority: The woman holds a scepter in her hands.
* VirginPower: The diadem's pearls are a symbol of virginity.
