EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of "Trajan's Justice" an engraving created by Hans Sebald Beham in 1537. The artwork, measuring 11.2x8.1 cm, is currently housed at the Dallas Museum of Art in Texas, USA, having been acquired by the Dallas Art Association. In this powerful image, we are transported back to ancient Rome as we witness a scene depicting justice being served under Emperor Trajan's rule. A soldier stands tall and resolute beside a female figure who represents justice herself. Clad in classical attire and holding scales symbolizing balance and fairness, she exudes authority and wisdom. The composition beautifully captures the tension between power and compassion as Trajan's mother watches over him from behind with a maternal gaze filled with pride and concern. This portrayal adds depth to the narrative, reminding us that even great leaders are influenced by those closest to them. Beham's meticulous attention to detail shines through in every line of this engraving. The intricate etchings bring life to each character while also emphasizing their roles within society. "Trajan's Justice" serves as a testament to the enduring legacy of ancient Roman civilization and its impact on our understanding of law and order today. Through this remarkable piece of artistry, we are reminded that justice knows no boundaries or time constraints – it remains an eternal virtue worth upholding for generations to come.
