# Personification of Justice [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [DORIGNY, Louis]() - Date: 1651-1700 - Technique: Fresco ## Commentary To the sides of the ceiling in the grand staircase, four large, faux Palladian windows, half-hidden by groupings of clouds, hold two theologian virtues - Hope and Charity - and two cardinal virtues - Justice and Fortitude - all accompanied by their respective attributes. Hope, Charity and Justice are drenched in light, whereas Fortitude is in shadow. Justice is shown with the peacock of Pride, which falls, pierced by an arrow. ## Related artworks - [Bacchanal \(detail\)]() - [Bacchanal \(detail\)]() - [Bacchanal \(detail\)]() - [Bacchanal \(detail\)]() - [Bacchanal]() - [Ballroom ceiling \(detail\)]() - [Ballroom ceiling \(detail\)]() - [Ballroom ceiling \(detail\)]() - [Ceiling decoration]() - [Ceiling of the grand staircase]() - [Corridor ceiling \(detail\)]() - [Deception and Avarice]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
