… Read more The bronze sculpture with a double golden and brown patina representing Justice is a work imbued with symbolism and elegance.
It is taken from the eponymous sculpture created in 1715 by the French sculptor Claude Franchomme.
The female figure embodies impartiality, blindfolded to signify that each judgment is made without prejudice or favoritism.
In her left hand, she holds a scale, a universal representation of fairness and measure, while her right hand brandishes a sword, recalling the strength and firmness necessary to enforce the law.
At the foot of the statue, a snake slithers, an element often interpreted as a symbol of prudence, cunning or sometimes the temptation that awaits justice itself.
This allegory rests on a black marble base, which gives it stability and majesty, contrasting harmoniously with the warmth of the golden patina of the bronze.
This work powerfully embodies the fundamental principles of justice: wisdom, balance and firmness.
