"Freewheelin" 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
