The Allegory of Fortitude is a recurring theme in 17th-century art, representing the virtue of inner strength and the ability to withstand adversity.

The compositional invention dates back to Marcello Venusti, about whom a red pencil drawing is known, attributed to the master's workshop (Bertolami, Auction 240, lot 11).
