EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite artwork titled "Prudence, Justice, and Peace" created in 1662. Housed in the esteemed Koninklijk Paleis Amsterdam collection, this masterpiece is a testament to both fine art and historical significance. Drawing inspiration from Greek mythology and the tumultuous events of the Dutch Revolt and Eighty Years' War, this painting beautifully captures three powerful goddesses: Prudence, Justice, and Peace. Each figure represents a distinct virtue crucial for societal harmony. The central focus lies on Iustitia (Lady Justice), symbolizing fairness and lawfulness. Clad in regal robes with her iconic blindfold and scales of justice held high, she epitomizes impartiality. Flanked by Prudentia (Prudence) on one side - depicted as a wise woman holding an hourglass - and Pax (Peace) on the other - portrayed as a serene figure carrying an olive branch - they complete this allegorical trio. Painted by Jürgen Ovens between 1623-1678 using oil on canvas technique, every brushstroke exudes finesse while capturing intricate details that bring these mythical figures to life. Notably significant is its connection to history; it commemorates the Peace of Münster or Treaty of Munster signed in 1648 which ended hostilities between Spain and The Netherlands during this period. This remarkable piece serves as a reminder of our enduring fascination with mythology, legal history, literature's allegories while celebrating
