# Justinian Presenting the Pandects to Trebonianus [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [RAFFAELLO Sanzio]() - Date: 1501-1550 - Technique: Fresco, width at the base 110 cm ## Commentary The Pandects were important documents of Roman Civil Law that had been brought into accordance with Canon \(Church\) Law. This unusual subject was to be shown on one side of the window on this wall, with Pope Gregory on the other side. Raphael used a dedication scene as the setting for both, and designed a unified space for both compositions, so that the floor tiles and the back wall are identical in both pictures. The fresco is thought to be largely the work of assistants and was probably carried out towards the end of 1511. ## Related artworks - [A Group of Nude Men]() - [A Group of Warriors]() - [A nude man advancing to the right \(verso\)]() - [A Soldier before the Cell of St Peter]() - [A Youthful Warrior \(recto\)]() - [Adam and Eve \(ceiling panel\)]() - [Aerial view]() - [Aldobrandini Madonna \(Garvagh Madonna\)]() - [Allegory \(The Knight's Dream\)]() - [Amorini at play \(verso\)]() - [An Angel]() - [Angel \(fragment of the Baronci Altarpiece\)]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
