Sobre la escultura
This group representing Charity is made by Niccolo Cordieri, in ca. 1600 in Florence. It is a reduction from a marble figure on the tomb of Luisa Deti Aldobrandini in S. Maria sopra Minerva.
Charity (lat. Caritas), literally means 'love', love in the sense of lovingness and kindness towards all others and is the foremost of the virtues.
Charity is often represented with a flame, often coming out of some kind of vase, or she holds a candle. Often she is suckling to infants, or she is surrounded by three to four infants, one usually at the breast.

Cordieri, Niccolo (b. Lothringen: 1567- d. Rome: 1612) (also called himself: Cordier Nicolas, Cordieri, Cordigheri, Niccolo Cori, Niccolo Lorena). Born in Lothringen. He developed an Italien sculptural style, with Michelangelo-like forms, and references to antique late-Roman examples. He belongs to a generation of artists, which prepared the grounds for the development of a baroque style within Italian sculpture (Bernini).
