EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures Plate 7 of "The Abuses of the Law" by Hendrik Goltzius, an engraving from the 16th or 17th century. The allegorical figure depicted in this plate represents the concept of justice, portrayed as a female figure with bare feet running through a crowd. She is surrounded by men, both lawyers and judges, who hold sticks symbolizing punishment. Goltzius' intricate engravings were known for their attention to detail and symbolic meaning. In this particular plate, he explores the abuses within the legal system of his time. The image conveys a sense of chaos and imbalance as justice struggles to prevail amidst corruption. The contrast between light and dark in this print adds depth to Goltzius' composition. The woman's white attire stands out against the darker background, emphasizing her role as a beacon of righteousness in a world tainted by abuse. "The Abuses of the Law" serves as a reminder that even those entrusted with upholding justice can succumb to greed or power. Through his artistry, Goltzius prompts viewers to question societal norms and reflect on how systems meant to protect can sometimes be manipulated for personal gain. This print is part of the collection at The Metropolitan Museum of Art (The Met) where it continues to inspire contemplation about law, ethics, and human nature across centuries.
