"Geloof, Hoop en Liefde" (Faith, Hope and Charity) is an engraving created in 1623 by Cornelis Galle I, a prominent Flemish engraver. This artwork, currently located in the Rijksmuseum, features a central figure of Charity seated on a wheel surrounded by Faith and Hope, each holding an attribute symbolizing their virtue. The figures are placed within an elaborate architectural frame, with the inscription "De Moralitate Natura...Fide, Spe, Ac Charitate" (On the Morality of Nature...Faith, Hope, and Charity) below. The composition highlights the virtues of Christianity within a decorative Baroque aesthetic, typical of Galle I's style.
