EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning mosaic panel, titled "Law," is one of the twelve Mosaic Panels created by the renowned American artist Frederick Dielman for the Library of Congress in Washington D.C. The Thomas Jefferson Building, where these panels are housed, is a National Historic Landmark and a symbol of the country's commitment to knowledge and culture. The "Law" panel, created in 1920, is a masterpiece of ornate design and symbolic representation. The central figure is the Goddess of Justice, who stands proudly with a blindfolded eye, scales in hand, and a sword in her other hand. She embodies the impartiality and fairness that is essential to the rule of law. Surrounding the central figure are intricately designed scenes that represent the concepts of Truth, Peace, and Industry, as well as their opposites, Fraud, Discord, and Violence. The mosaic's vibrant colors and intricate details bring these concepts to life, creating a visually striking and thought-provoking work of art. The "Law" panel is a testament to the enduring importance of the rule of law in American society. It serves as a reminder of the values that underpin our legal system and the consequences of their absence. The panel's intricate design and symbolic representation make it a must-see attraction for visitors to the Library of Congress and a cherished piece of American artistic heritage.
