## Commentary

The picture shows Justitia \(Justice\) in one of the two corner cartouches of the ceiling. The frames around the niches on the vault contain personifications of virtues. These personifications are not of virtues specifically associated with Mary. The Theological Virtues Fides and Caritas are placed opposite each other, and serve as visual links between the ceiling and the walls. Subordinate to these, in the corner cartouches of the ceiling, are four virtues, richly furnished with attributes and conceived as painted statues - Justitia, Mansuetudo, Abundantia, and Spes.
