Madre lactante, La Caridad: Paul Dubois por Jules Lavée.
Dimensions: 225 x 165 mm
Dibujo de Jules Lavée, posiblemente Adolphe Jules Marie Lavée, artista francés (Morlais 1840 – París, 1903), en revista de la época (probablemente Le Monde Illustré) de la figura de La Caridad del escultor francés admirador de la escultura renacentista Paul Dubois (Nogent-sur-Seine, 1829 – París, 1905), discípulo de Armand Toussaint y sobrino nieto de Jean-Baptiste Pigalle.
Charity is a Christian virtue, opposed to hatred and animosity. It is one of the three theological virtues along with Faith and Hope. Defined in the words of Christ: "You shall love ... your neighbour as yourself" (Matt 19:19 and 22:39, Mark 12:31 and Luke 10:27), St. Paul equates it with Love and defines it as superior in excellence to the other two virtues (1 Cor 13:13).
The allegory of Charity in the form of a woman breastfeeding or caring for several children is very common in art, the works sometimes being referred to as "Alma Parens" (Latin for "nurturing mother" or "protective mother").
