He believed that charity, an expression of the love of God and of one’s neighbour, was the most important. Here, the inscription ‘CHARITAS’ at the top of the picture identifies the female figure. Charity was personified as a woman with her children in art from the fourteenth century onward.\n\nCharity is draped in a transparent veil that curves around her body. She wears a choker and gold chain in the style of jewellery worn by women of the court of Saxony, where Cranach worked. In contrast to Charity and her children, who wear nothing, the doll held by the girl on the left is clothed in a green dress in the contemporary style.\n\nCranach and his workshop painted this subject about a dozen times. In many of the other versions, Charity is depicted seated in a landscape.\" - (\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.nationalgallery.org.uk\/paintings\/lucas-cranach-the-elder-charity\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"National Gallery of Art London - Charity\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eNational Gallery of Art, London\u003c\/a\u003e)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lucas Cranach the Elder","offers":[{"title":"No Size Selected (Select a Size)","offer_id":50509824622835,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Replica Size (22 1\/8\" x 14 1\/4\")","offer_id":50509824655603,"sku":null,"price":694.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Signature Size (22 1\/4\" x 14 3\/8\")","offer_id":50509824688371,"sku":null,"price":695.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Classic Size (27 1\/4\" x 17 1\/2\")","offer_id":50509824721139,"sku":null,"price":895.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gallery Size (33 3\/8\" x 21 5\/8\")","offer_id":50509824753907,"sku":null,"price":1295.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Statement Size (43 1\/8\" x 27 3\/4\")","offer_id":50509824786675,"sku":null,"price":1995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Grand Size (51 3\/4\" x 33 1\/2\")","offer_id":50509824819443,"sku":null,"price":2795.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Estate Size (61\" x 39 1\/4\")","offer_id":50509824852211,"sku":null,"price":3695.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Museum Size (73 1\/4\" x 47 3\/8\")","offer_id":50509824884979,"sku":null,"price":4995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0827\/5738\/6483\/files\/Charity_573df695-062d-4e4e-aebe-8bc113826671.jpg?v=1789263636","url":"https:\/\/commissionedpaintings.com\/products\/charity-ngal1176","provider":"Commissioned Paintings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
