''Luca Signorelli's Giorno del Giudizio'' Shell Cameo
"Allegory of time and Truth" Painting by Annibale Carracci
Iconographically, Hannibal's Allegory illustrates the victory of truth favored by time.
The personification of Time - recognizable by the decrepit age and by the hourglass
in his hand - in fact, pulls out of a well the winged figure of Truth (an ephebic adolescent)
that looks in a mirror while crushing Deception (or Fraud).
The Deception seems to have a small monstrous head on its neck which underlines
its duplicity and its wickedness
