EDITORS COMMENTS
The print titled "The World Disposing of Justice, from The Unrestrained World, plate 1,1550" captures a captivating allegorical scene from the 16th century. Created by Dirck Volkertsen Coornhert, this black and white etching and engraving is a testament to his artistic brilliance. In this thought-provoking image, we witness an intricate web of symbolism unfold before our eyes. At the center stands an imposing figure representing the world itself, blindfolded and holding a blade of justice in one hand. This blindfold signifies impartiality while also highlighting the unpredictable nature of justice. Surrounding the central figure are various animals symbolizing different aspects of human behavior and society. From bucking horses to cunning foxes, each creature represents a facet of our complex existence. Through these animalistic representations, Coornhert explores themes such as accident and fallibility within our lives. The attention to detail in this piece is remarkable; every line etched with precision brings life to each element depicted. The use of black and white enhances the stark contrast between light and dark, adding depth to the composition. "The World Disposing of Justice" serves as a timeless reminder that justice can be both blind yet decisive—a concept that continues to resonate today. As we gaze upon this masterpiece at The Metropolitan Museum of Art (The Met), we are transported back in time while contemplating its enduring relevance in contemporary society.
