Gifts of the Spirit / Fruits of the Spirit print

An unusual pairing of the Gifts of the Spirit in English and Latin: “wisdom/Sapientia, understanding/Intellectus, counsel/Consilium, fear of God/Timor Domini, fortitude/Fortitado, knowledge/Scientia, piety/Pietas” and the Fruits of the Spirit: “Faith, love, temperance, kindness, long suffering, joy, peace, gentleness.” Illuminated versals are stacked in the center of the piece to create a candlestick topped with the symbolic flame of the spirit.

Hand ground paint made of cinnabar (naturally occurring vermillion), carbon black and titanium white with 22k tooled raised gilding on black 11 x 14 paper
