EDITORS COMMENTS
In this engraving by Hans Sebald Beham, titled "Knowledge of God and the Seven Cardinal Virtues" we are transported back to 16th-century Germany. The intricate details and masterful technique of this print bring to life a timeless message about the pursuit of knowledge and the importance of virtuous living. At first glance, our eyes are drawn to an ethereal figure representing Knowledge, seated atop a pedestal adorned with symbols of wisdom. With an open book in hand, she radiates enlightenment as her gaze meets ours, inviting us into her realm. Surrounding her are seven graceful figures personifying the Cardinal Virtues: Prudence, Justice, Fortitude, Temperance, Faith, Hope, and Charity. Each virtue is depicted with its unique attributes - Prudence holds a mirror reflecting thoughtful contemplation; Justice wields scales symbolizing fairness; Fortitude brandishes a sword signifying courage; Temperance clutches reins denoting self-control; Faith clasps a cross embodying devotion; Hope raises an anchor representing optimism for the future; while Charity extends her hands in compassion towards those in need. Beham's meticulous attention to detail captures not only their physical beauty but also their symbolic significance. Through his artistry and craftsmanship as an engraver par excellence during that era, he communicates profound truths about human nature and spirituality that remain relevant today. This remarkable print from Liszt Collection serves as both a visual feast for the eyes and a thought-provoking reminder of the enduring values
