EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the "Allegory of Justice" from John of Wales Breviloquium de virtutibus antiquorum principum et philosophorum, created between 1475 and 1499 by the talented artist Jean Colombe. Housed in the esteemed collection of the New York Public Library, this piece transports viewers to medieval France, immersing them in a world where law and justice were highly revered. The artwork itself is an illuminated manuscript that beautifully combines elements of Greek mythology with medieval symbolism. The central figure represents Nemesis, the goddess of divine retribution and justice. With her stern gaze and poised demeanor, she embodies fairness and impartiality. Colombe's intricate watercolor technique on parchment brings this allegorical scene to life. Every stroke highlights the meticulous attention to detail present in medieval artistry. The illuminated lettering surrounding Nemesis adds another layer of beauty to this masterpiece. As we delve into this image, we are reminded of how art can transcend time and transport us back centuries ago. It serves as a testament to humanity's enduring fascination with justice and its representation throughout history. This print captures not only a significant piece from our past but also invites contemplation on themes such as morality, virtue, and equity that continue to resonate today.
