Justice and Peace

Material, technology: oil on canvas

Description: The source of these Allegories is in the Psalms (85, 10-12), and they were a frequent pair in the 17th-18th centuries. Pompeo Batoni, the popular Roman painter of the mid-18th century placed the figures of Justice and Peace (Justitia and Pax) in a classical architectural setting. The identification of the figures is helped by their attributes: the scales and the olive branch.
