Baroque artists developed a serial of emotional stimuli in their viewers. In the metaphor of The World as a Theatre Play, the traditional (and medieval) theme of Virtues against Vices has been reformulated. Concern for the salvation of the souls of Catholics was at the heart of this artistic resurrection. The aim of this work is to analyze some aesthetic expressions from the 17^th century that recorded the struggle between Christian Virtues and the Vices of sin.

Comparative analysis of three virtues of the Virgin Mary – Goodness, Truth and Justice – narrated in the Cantiga 140 of Cantigas de Santa Maria by Alfonso X of Castile (1221-1284), called the Wise, and the Book of Santa Maria (c. 1290) written by Catalan philosopher Ramon Llull.

This article analysis the Ethic proposed by Ramon Llull.
