Sebald Beham’s “Charitas” is an engraving that depicts the Christian virtue of Charity. In the image, a winged woman, likely representing Charity, is portrayed with two cherubs and a dog. The woman is holding a cherub on her shoulder while another cherub attempts to pull at her robe. The image highlights the idea of Charity as a selfless act of love and compassion, emphasizing its importance in Christian teachings. Beham, known for his intricate detail, uses lines to render the figures and textures of the background. This image is a powerful example of Renaissance German art and provides insight into the era's religious beliefs and artistic expressions.
