EDITORS COMMENTS
Justice, Plate 37 from Genii and Virtues, c.1465: An Allegorical Depiction of Justice by Unknown This enigmatic print, titled "Justice," is a captivating allegorical figure from Plate 37 of the series "Genii and Virtues," created around 1465. The artist remains unknown, but it is believed to be from the Italian artistic school, possibly influenced by Andrea Mantegna or the Master of the E Series. The engraving on tan laid paper portrays a woman, personifying the concept of Justice, standing confidently with one foot on a rock and the other on a pair of scales. In her right hand, she holds a sword, symbolizing the power to enforce law, while in her left hand, she cradles a set of scales, emblematic of fairness and balance. Two birds, possibly cranes, perch on the scales, representing the harmony and equilibrium that Justice strives to maintain. The print is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of the 15th century, showcasing the intricate details and masterful craftsmanship of the time. It is a valuable addition to any art collection or educational institution, providing a glimpse into the past and the enduring significance of the concepts of justice and balance. This print is currently housed in the Art Institute of Chicago, where it continues to inspire and educate visitors from around the world. Its presence in the gallery serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving and appreciating the artistic and historical treasures of our past.
