"Injustice" is a fresco by Giotto, painted in 1306 as part of the Scrovegni Chapel cycle in Padua. The work depicts a figure, likely representing Injustice, holding a staff and standing amidst a forest of trees. At the bottom, smaller figures appear to be engaged in an act of injustice, representing the consequences of its influence. This is a prime example of Giotto's mastery of early Renaissance art, characterized by its naturalism and three-dimensionality. The composition and expressive figures reflect the transition from the Gothic to the Renaissance style, demonstrating Giotto's contribution to the artistic revolution of the 14th century.
