| Description | Love and virtue are some of the most important affections (Affekte) in musico-dramatic works of the early modern period. In the arts, the representation of the two concepts has been debated since the classical antiquity and has undergone a long historical development. It has been strongly influenced by Christian doctrines (through the four cardinal virtues, resp. heavenly virtues) and concepts of chivalry and courtly love (through the knightly virtues). |
