About this work

Theology with a burning torch in each hand, stands as a statue on a high pedestal in an architectural frame. Above her head the Holy Spirit as a dove. To the left the Old Testament as a herm, holding a coat of arms with pentagram and the names of the first five books of the Bible. To the right the New Testament as a herm with crucifix and the keys of the church, holding a coat of arms with Christ monogram IHS.
