The concept of opposing forces of good and evil expressed in a range of moral qualities - virtues and vices - is one of the dominant themes in the history of Christian art. This catalogue documents the occurrence of the Virtues and Vices in well over 1,000 works of art produced between the fifth and the fifteenth centuries.
