EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Allegory of the Law" transports us back to Vienna in 1801, where it was engraved as part of a book called "Iconologie oder Ideen aus dem Gebiete der Leidenschaften und Allegorien bildich dargestellt fur Zeichner, Mahler, Dichter, Gelehrte, Erzieher und freunde Hoherer Geschmacksbildung". The artwork is a masterpiece created by an anonymous Austrian artist from the 19th century. The image depicts a figure representing the law adorned with a radiant diadem that signifies their divine origin. In one hand, they hold a sceptre symbolizing their authority and power. The other hand rests on an open or inscribed book bearing the words "In Legibus Salus" which translates to "Salvation in Laws". This inscription suggests that those who obey the law will be rewarded. The engraving is just one of 225 illustrations contained within this remarkable book. It now resides in a private collection but continues to captivate viewers with its intricate details and profound symbolism. As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded of the importance of laws and their role in society. It serves as both a reminder and an inspiration for individuals to uphold justice and order. The artist's skillful rendering invites us into this allegorical world where divine origins meet human responsibility.
