Image description

The importance of the intellect was often celebrated in representations of the Seven Liberal Arts: Grammar, Rhetoric, Logic, Geometry, Arithmetic, Astronomy, and Music, personified as poised young women in a setting and clothing suggestive of ancient Greece, home of Western abstract thought.
