"The Seven Liberal Arts" is a renowned engraving by the German artist Hans Sebald Beham, created in 1539 during the Northern Renaissance. This work of art is a visual representation of the traditional medieval concept of the liberal arts, which were considered the essential areas of study for a free person. The liberal arts were divided into the Trivium, consisting of grammar, rhetoric, and dialectic (or logic), and the Quadrivium, comprising arithmetic, geometry, music, and astronomy.

Beham's engraving is notable for its intricate detail and the way it encapsulates the intellectual spirit of the era. Each of the seven liberal arts is personified by a female figure, embodying the characteristics and tools associated with her respective field of knowledge. The figures are often depicted in an allegorical setting that enhances the viewer's understanding of the subject matter.

Hans Sebald Beham (1500–1550) was a key figure in the group of German artists known as the Little Masters, so-called for their production of small, finely detailed prints. Beham's work is characterized by its high level of craftsmanship and the influence of Italian Renaissance art, which he combined with the Northern European tradition of printmaking.

"The Seven Liberal Arts" is not only a testament to Beham's skill as an engraver but also serves as a historical document reflecting the educational ideals of the 16th century. The engraving is held in high regard for its artistic merit and as an example of the cultural values of the time. It remains an important work for scholars studying the history of education, Renaissance art, and the transmission of classical knowledge through the ages.
