EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "Justice" from Lucas van Leyden's renowned series, The Virtues. Created in 1530, this allegorical figure represents the concept of justice with a remarkable level of detail and symbolism. In this engraving, we see a seated female figure adorned with an angelic halo, embodying the divine nature of justice. She is surrounded by cherubs and amorini, emphasizing her celestial significance. With her serene expression and regal posture, she exudes authority and wisdom. The artist skillfully captures the essence of justice through various elements within the composition. The woman holds scales in one hand, symbolizing fairness and impartiality in decision-making. Her nudity signifies transparency while also representing vulnerability to ensure that judgment remains unbiased. Lucas van Leyden's meticulous technique shines through every line etched into the print, showcasing his mastery as a Dutch Renaissance artist.

Displayed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, this artwork stands as a testament to Lucas van Leyden's lasting legacy in art history.
