Fable: Heavenly Virtues

This work unfolds like a surreal parable, where the Seven Heavenly Virtues are hidden within a dreamlike landscape. A lone sheep carries the quiet light of Chastity, while the humble frog reminds us of Temperance. A spectral woman holding a skull becomes a symbol of Charity and Love, compassion that survives even in the face of death. Across the horizon, a sailing ship moves with steady Diligence, while a seated skeleton teaches Patience, waiting silently with time. The farmhouse with a cross glows as a beacon of Kindness, and above it all, the towering long legged bulls watch over the land, embodying Humility and placing mankind in perspective. Beyond allegory, this piece is also rooted in a personal dream, to spend old age on a quiet countryside farm, surrounded by family and embraced by the endless beauty of nature.
