EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the artwork "Fairness (Justice)" by renowned artist Hendrick Goltzius. Created between 1558 and 1617, this masterpiece can be found in the prestigious collection of Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, Netherlands. The image portrays Lady Justice, also known as Justitia or Iustitia, a symbol deeply rooted in mythology and representing fairness and law. Goltzius skillfully captures her essence through his meticulous etching technique, bringing to life an allegory that has resonated throughout history. In this early Netherlandish art piece, we witness Lady Justice standing tall with her eyes blindfolded. This blindfold represents impartiality; she is not influenced by external factors but rather guided solely by truth and justice. In one hand, she holds a set of scales perfectly balanced—a powerful visual representation of fairness being upheld. Goltzius' attention to detail is evident in every stroke of his etching. The intricate patterns on Lady Justice's robe and the delicate features on her face add depth and character to the artwork. As we gaze upon this fine art image, we are reminded of the timeless importance of justice within society. It serves as a reminder that everyone should be treated fairly under the law regardless of their background or status. This print offers us an opportunity to appreciate Goltzius' talent while reflecting on our own understanding of justice and its significance in our lives today.
