"Jugement: A Reflection on Justice and its Many Faces" In the realm of justice, we witness a myriad of judgments that shape our understanding of right and wrong. From historical events to artistic representations, the concept of "jugement" reveals itself in various forms. As we delve into the world of art, Honore Daumier's series of cartoons on Justice titled "Gens de Justice" captivates our attention. The cartoon depicting an assassination adorned with rapes shocks us, reminding us that judgment can sometimes be tainted by prejudice or personal agendas. Moving from cartoons to ancient manuscripts, we encounter two striking illustrations. In Decrets de Gratien and Decrets de St. Gregoire IX, both depicted on vellum, we witness scenes following condemnations resulting from judgments. One illustration portrays a chastity belt as a consequence while the other presents us with a solemn courtroom scene where judgment is passed. Susanna Brought to Judgment takes us back to the 17th century through pen and ink on paper artwork. This piece reminds us that even biblical stories are not exempt from scrutiny and judgment. Stepping away from religious narratives, The Judgment of Paris showcases an oil-on-canvas masterpiece exploring themes of beauty and subjective decision-making. Here, jugement takes center stage as Paris must decide which goddess deserves the golden apple - an act that would have far-reaching consequences for all involved. Shifting gears towards history itself, an engraving titled Audience au Chatelet de Paris sous Louis XV captures a momentous occasion - the judgment of thieves and women - based on M Desmaze's painting owned by counsel at court Mme L de Chatillon. This engraving serves as a reminder that public trials were once spectacles meant to display justice being served. The influence extends beyond art; it permeates societal structures too.
