This volume contains the Alexander Lectures in University College, University of Toronto, for the session 1945-46, delivered by Samuel C. Chew, Professor of English Literature at Bryn Mawr College and author of Byron in England and The Crescent and the Rose. For a number of years Professor Chew has been engaged in the study of relation between poetry and the visual arts, especially in the English Renaissance. The Virtues Reconciled embodies his results in an important and more or less self-contained division of this general field. It deals with the allegorical representation, visual and verbal, of the four Virtues, Truth and Justice, Mercy and Peace. The first lecture, "The Friendship of the Arts," considers generally, but with abundant illustrative example, the nature and the relation of verbal and visual imagery. The second lecture, "The Parliament of Heaven," traces the history of the allegory of the Four Daughters of God (Truth, Justice, Mercy, and Peace), who enters into debate upon the Fall of Man and his future destiny. The problem is resolved, and the Virtues are reconciled, when the Son of God offers Himself in the Atonement. The third lecture examines more closely the various forms in which Truth and Justice are personified, both in art and literature; and the final lecture affords a similar treatment of Mercy and Peace. The argument is illustrated by eighteen plates from paintings, drawings, and title-pages. Many others are described in the text, together with the works of literature which present analogous ideas and images. Of equal value for the light which it throws on the literature of the past and on an aspect of the history of the visual arts, The Virtues Reconciled will also interest the general reader. For, as Professor Chew remarks, "by means of these images our forefathers sought to express their experiences of the changes and chances of this mortal life, and one cannot contemplate them without recognizing that these great commonplaces are still applicable to the human situation."

Trois lieux emblématiques à Namur s'associent pour présenter une exposition abordant la représentation des vices et des vertus depuis le Moyen Âge jusqu'à nos jours : le musée des Arts anciens, le musée Félicien Rops et l'église Saint-Loup. La Somme théologique de Thomas d'Aquin, rédigée entre 1266 et 1273, constitue une véritable synthèse des préceptes issus de l'Antiquité et des premiers philosophes chrétiens. L'auteur y fixe définitivement les notions de vices et de vertus dont la liste avait été dressée par le moine Évagre le Pontique (fin du 4e siècle) et imposée par le pape Grégoire le Grand (fin du 6e siècle). Une iconographie se développe, où les vertus - chrétiennes - et les vices - païens - s'opposent. Exhibition: Musée Félicien Rops, Namur, Belgium (18.02-21.05.2017) Aristoteles schreef het reeds: 'De deugd is het juiste midden tussen twee ondeugden'.Sinds mensenheugenis is de strijd tussen goed en kwaad een inspiratiebron voor kunstenaars.Hoe heeft deze iconografische traditie zich vertaald doorheen de eeuwen? Hoe hebben schilders, illustratoren en beeldhouwers van de Middeleeuwen tot de Renaissance deugden en ondeugden die alomtegenwoordig waren in religieuze geschriften voorgesteld? Hoe hebben Félicien Rops en James Ensor in de 19de eeuw met deze concepten gespeeld om de hypocrisie van hun tijd aan de kaak te stellen? Hoe gaat een hedendaagse kunstenares als Aidan Salakhova om met begrippen als religieuze taboes, de grenzen tussen het heilige en het profane, de deugd en de ondeugd?Reis door de eeuwen heen en ontdek kunstenaars die naar de menselijke instincten hebben gepeild, van de meest vileine tot de meest deugdzame.
