EDITORS COMMENTS
In this woodcut print titled "The Seven Virtues: Justice" created by the renowned German artist Hans Burgkmair, we are transported to the 16th century. The image showcases a powerful representation of Justice, one of the seven virtues that have guided humanity for centuries. Burgkmair's attention to detail is evident in every stroke and line of this masterpiece. The figure of Justice stands tall and resolute, her eyes fixed on an unseen horizon as she holds a balanced scale in one hand and a sword in the other. Her presence exudes authority and fairness, symbolizing the importance of upholding justice in society. The intricate patterns adorning her robe reflect Burgkmair's mastery over his craft, while also hinting at the complexity inherent in dispensing justice. Through his skillful use of light and shadow, he creates depth and dimensionality that bring this timeless virtue to life. As we gaze upon this print from Heritage Art/Heritage Images within the collection of The Cleveland Museum of Art, we are reminded not only of Burgkmair's artistic genius but also how these virtues continue to shape our understanding of morality today. This artwork serves as a poignant reminder that justice should always be pursued with unwavering determination - an enduring message that transcends time and place.
