Virtues

 

Lengthways in the nave took place the three theological virtues : Faith (blue), Hope (green) and Charity (red). In the four side chapels, the four cardinal virtues : Prudence (indigo), Fortitude (yellow), Restraint (purple) and Justice (orange). Each virtue gets is own rainbow colour.

Moreover, here are the symbolic meanings of 4 + 3 = 7. Four directions (East, North, West and South) and three depths which complete the whole space, etc...

I’ve created first a decorative background made of planks covering the cymas (2.50 yards high). On this background took place paintings. Some “flats columns” punctuate the place. A fountain is placed in the middle of the green room.
