About this work

Theologia with a burning torch in each hand, standing 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 a pentagram and the names of the first five books of the Bible. To the right, the New Testament as a herm with a crucifix and the keys of the church, holding a coat of arms with the Christogram IHS.
