EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the frontispiece of the Justinianus Corpus Iuris Civilis (Body of Civil Law), dating back to 1663. The artwork, created during the Baroque period by an anonymous artist, is a copper engraving that now resides in a private collection. The image depicts a powerful allegory and portrayal of justice, featuring Lady Justice herself, known as Justitia or Iustitia. Clad in flowing robes and blindfolded to symbolize impartiality, she holds scales in one hand and a sword in the other. This iconic representation has become synonymous with legal systems worldwide. The Justinianus Corpus Iuris Civilis was compiled under Emperor Justinian's rule and remains one of the most significant legal codes in history. Its influence on modern law cannot be overstated, as it served as the foundation for many legal systems across Europe. This fine art print not only captures an important moment in legal history but also provides insight into mythology and literature through its use of allegorical elements. The intricate details showcased within this portrait highlight both the artistic skill involved and its historical significance. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from our past, we are reminded of how justice has been depicted throughout time while appreciating its enduring importance within society today.
