EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of the "Allegory of Justice with Two Putti" a masterpiece originally created by Lorenzo Sabatini in the 16th century. The artwork, located in Palazzo Vecchio, Florence, is beautifully recreated here by Denijs Calvaert. The image showcases an allegorical figure representing justice, surrounded by two angelic putti or cherubs. These cherubs symbolize innocence and purity while adding a touch of celestial charm to the composition. With their delicate features and ethereal presence, they bring life to this baroque-era piece. The artist's skillful use of red chalk and brushwork creates depth and dimensionality within the portrait. The scales of justice held by the seated female figure emphasize her role as a decision-maker in society. Her contemplative expression suggests that she is carefully considering matters before rendering her verdict. This work exemplifies Italian artistic heritage from the Mannerism period, characterized by its emphasis on elegance and sophistication. The use of gouache highlights adds a subtle touch of color to this predominantly monochromatic composition. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this anonymous creation continues to captivate viewers with its timeless beauty and thought-provoking concept. It serves as a reminder that justice is not only blind but also impartial - an essential pillar for any civilized society.
