English: The Seven Virtues : According to early and medieval Catholic doctrine, the qualities essential to an observant Christian life. Though not as strict as that of the opposing Seven Deadly Sins, the catalogue of the Seven Virtues was, depending on its source, either understood to include

the qualities directly opposite to the Seven Deadly Sins – i.e. abstinence, liberality (generosity), diligence, humility, chastity, kindness, and patience – or
the Four Cardinal Virtues – i.e. prudence, justice, temperance, and fortitude – and the Three Theological Virtues – i.e. faith, hope, and charity (love). –

Among the major depictions in arts of the Seven Virtues are Giotto's cycle of the Seven Vices and Seven Virtues in the Cappella degli Scrovegni (Arena Chapel) in Padua, Italy, and a number of works by Pieter Bruegel the Elder.
