EDITORS COMMENTS
This sketch, titled "Esquisse pour le plafond de la salle d'audience de la Cour des Assises du Palais de Justice de Paris: Justice," is a breathtaking creation by the renowned French artist, Leon Joseph Florentin Bonnat. Dated between 1866 and 1873, this masterpiece is a preliminary design for the ceiling of the audience chamber at the Paris Court of Assizes. The image showcases a group of cherubs, or putti, adorned with symbols of law and justice. One cherub holds an olive branch, symbolizing peace, while another wields a sword, representing authority. The scales of justice are carried by a third cherub, emphasizing the balance and fairness that the legal system aspires to uphold. The remaining cherubs bear plaques inscribed with the Latin words "Lex" (Law) and "Jus" (Justice). Bonnat's use of color and gold gilding adds an exquisite touch to the artwork, making it a stunning example of interior decoration and design from the 19th century. The cherubs are depicted in a naturalistic style, with their youthful expressions and playful poses adding a sense of charm and whimsy to the otherwise formal setting of a courtroom. The sketch's panoramic format and intricate details make it a captivating work of art that transports us to a bygone era. This image is a testament to Bonnat's exceptional talent as a painter and his ability to capture the essence of the legal system through the use of cherubs, symbolizing the ideals of justice and law. It is a valuable addition to the rich artistic heritage of France and a must-see for anyone interested in the history of art, interior design, or the legal system.
