Charity

Artist: Anthony Van Dyck (Flemish, 1599-1641)

Genre: Allegory

Date: 1599-1641

Medium: Oil on Canvas

Collection: The National Gallery, London

Charity is held to be the ultimate perfection of the human spirit because it both glorifies and reflects the nature of God. Confusion can arise from the multiple meanings of the English word "love". As with other theological virtues, charity is divinely infused into the soul; it resides in the will. According to Aquinas, charity is an absolute requirement for happiness, which he holds as man's last goal.
