EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intricate tapestry of the "Allegory of Justice" adorning the Royal Apartments of the Pitti Palace in Florence. Dating back to the late Renaissance, this masterpiece showcases a harmonious blend of Renaissance, Renaissance-Baroque styles and periods. The photograph itself was taken around 1890, while the artwork it depicts originates from the XVI century. At first glance, one's eyes are drawn to an abstract concept and symbol: Justice personified as a regal figure with a sword in one hand and scales in another. Surrounding her are various elements that add depth and symbolism to this allegorical representation. A majestic lion stands by her side, representing terrestrial power and strength. Intriguingly, amidst this scene we find figures such as Judas Iscariot and apostles from biblical times alongside mythological beings like satyrs – minor divinities known for their mischievous nature. This fusion of Greco-Roman mythology with Christian iconography exemplifies Europe's rich cultural heritage during these periods. The attention to detail is remarkable; every strand of hairdo or hairstyle on each portrayed person is meticulously woven into the tapestry's fabric. The fashion and clothing depicted reflect contemporary trends prevalent during that time period. As we delve deeper into this mesmerizing artwork through Alinari's lens, we can appreciate not only its aesthetic beauty but also its historical significance. It serves as a testament to both artistic mastery and societal values held dear during Europe's first and second millenniums AD.
