"Father Time: The Eternal Guardian of Time, Truth, and Justice" In the captivating artwork titled "Time, Truth and Justice, " painted in 1716 by an unknown artist on a canvas, we witness the personification of Father Time. Plate 1 showcases Saturn in a niche devouring his son while standing before a scythe, symbolizing the relentless passage of time. This imagery resonates with the old public clock outside the Jewelers Building in Chicago, Illinois – known as "Father Time. " Situated at the Northeast corner of this bustling city, it stands tall as a reminder that time waits for no one. As we delve deeper into history's annals, we encounter intriguing depictions such as "The Lost Garden" and "Orage causepar l Impot sur le Theen Amerique, " both from around 1775. These artworks shed light on how even amidst chaos or turmoil, Father Time remains steadfast. "The Tea-Tax-Tempest" further emphasizes this notion; created in March 1783 during turbulent times, it portrays Old Time with his Magick Lantern guiding us through troubled waters. Meanwhile, frescoes like "Time Discovers Truth" (1734) reveal how Father Time unravels hidden truths that lie beneath society's surface. Throughout centuries past emerge various renditions - from an anonymous work dating back to 1500/1600 to Pompeo Batoni's masterpiece titled "Time Unveiling Truth" (1740/45). In Gerard Audran's portrait of Pierre Seguier from 1672 and Giovanni Domenico Tiepolo's enchanting piece called "Venus Entrusting Cupid to Time" (1758-80), we witness different facets of Father Time's existence. These diverse representations remind us that Father Time transcends boundaries - be it geographical or temporal - as he watches over humanity with unwavering vigilance.
