Семь свободных искусств.The Seven Liberal Arts.
В графике и живописи разных эпох и художников

В Древнем Риме так назывались занятия и упражнения, достойные свободного человека, в отличие от занятий, требующих физического труда, которыми могли заниматься только рабы. Ещё в античности начал вырабатываться список дисциплин, позже названных свободными искусствами.

Свободные искусства образуют высшую научную и литературную педагогику. Число их ограничено семью; они выстроены в значимом порядке, определяющем уровни обучения: искусства слова (грамматика и риторика), мышления (диалектика) и числа (арифметика, геометрия, астроно­мия, музыка).
