Die Tugenden, also known as "The Virtues," is a notable series of engravings created by the Flemish artist and printmaker Hieronymus Cock in the 16th century. Hieronymus Cock, born in 1518 in Antwerp, was a pivotal figure in the Northern Renaissance, renowned for his role in the dissemination of Italian Renaissance art and ideas through his prolific printmaking workshop, Aux Quatre Vents (At the Sign of the Four Winds). This workshop became one of the most influential print publishing houses of the period, producing works that significantly impacted the visual culture of Europe.

The series Die Tugenden exemplifies Cock's mastery in engraving and his ability to blend Northern European artistic traditions with the classical themes and motifs of the Italian Renaissance. Each engraving in the series personifies a different virtue, depicted as an allegorical female figure, a common practice in Renaissance art to convey moral and philosophical ideals. These personifications are often accompanied by symbolic attributes and set within elaborate architectural or naturalistic backgrounds, showcasing Cock's attention to detail and his skill in creating complex, harmonious compositions.

Cock's work on Die Tugenden reflects the broader humanist interest in classical antiquity and the moral philosophy of the time. The virtues represented in the series typically include cardinal virtues such as Prudence, Justice, Fortitude, and Temperance, as well as theological virtues like Faith, Hope, and Charity. Through these engravings, Cock not only illustrated these abstract concepts but also contributed to the moral and educational discourse of his era.

Die Tugenden holds a significant place in the history of printmaking, illustrating the technical and artistic advancements of the period. Cock's engravings were widely circulated and admired, influencing contemporary artists and printmakers. Today, these works are studied for their artistic merit and their role in the cultural and intellectual currents of the Renaissance.
