        "description": "This engraving is part of the group marked with the letter \u201cB,\u201d and named<em> Cosmic Principles and the Virtues</em>, which comprises the three Universal principles (Light, Time, and Space) alongside the four cardinal virtues (Prudence, Temperance, Fortitude, and Justice) and the three theological ones (Faith, Hope, and Charity). The latter are a Christian concept originating from a passage in the first Book of Corinthians (1 Corinthians 13:13). <br><br>Here personified as a full-length female figure, <em>Charita </em>(Charity) simultaneously personifies the love of God (<em>caritas Dei </em>or <em>amor Dei</em>)\u2014by parting her cloak with her left hand in order to reveal her flaming heart\u2014and the love of one\u2019s neighbor (<em>caritas proximi</em>)\u2014by shaking coins from an open purse with her right hand. Charity looks downcast at her lower left and toward her symbol, a pelican. This bird was thought to open its breast with its beak to feed its young with its own blood.",
