About this work

The risen Christ as victor over evil, trampling the serpent. The theological virtue Faith embraces his feet. Behind Faith, Love feeds one of her children, and Hope sits with her anchor. On a pedestal, an oval representation of Adam and Eve. In the background on the left, King David, Moses, and Aaron. On the right, people studying the Bible.
