Strictly speaking, however, Mary has no right to these symbols of the gifts of the Spirit, for it was to the expected Messiah that the divine gifts were promised. The columbine is more correctly used by Hugo van der Goes, who in his ‘Adoration of the Shepherds’[105] places a columbine, with seven flowers upon it, in a vase before the Infant Saviour. The seven gifts of the Spirit are according to Isaiah: SAPIENTIA INTELLECTUS CONSILIUM FORTITUDO SCIENTIA PIETAS TIMOR. And according to the Apocalypse: VIRTUS DIVINITAS (in the Vulgate) SAPIENTIA FORTITUDO HONOR GLORIA BENEDICIO. But, at the Renaissance, Faith, Hope and Charity were taken as the theological virtues, and to them were added the four moral virtues exalted in pagan times above all others, namely, Prudence, Justice, Temperance and Strength.[106] In a picture by Jörg Breu of the Virgin with the Child and two saints,[107] a vase of columbine, the only flowers introduced, is placed in the foreground just below the Child, who stands on His Mother’s knee. Beside the vase is a sort of casket, out of which seven little cupid angels take seven scrolls. On the respective scrolls are inscribed: FIDES, SPES, CHARITAS, JUSTICIA, PRUDENCIA, FORTES. The seventh is blank, reserved, perhaps, for TEMPERANCE. A crowned saint, seated beside the Virgin, holds upon her knee a scroll on which is written ‘AVE REGINA,’ and above the Virgin’s head hover two _putti_ with a heavy crown. It is therefore to the Mother, rather than to the Child, that devotion is directed, and the seven Gifts are to be taken as her attribute.
