Justitia beschermt Onschuld tegen Misdaad 1789 - 1799

"Justitia beschermt Onschuld tegen Misdaad" is a small engraving by Jacques Louis Copia. It depicts a scene of justice, with a woman representing justice, holding a young, innocent person while a man with a sword is stopped in his tracks. This engraving is an example of Neoclassicism, a popular style of art during the 18th and 19th centuries. Neoclassicism emphasizes clear lines, simple forms, and a focus on classical themes and ideals. This engraving, with its depiction of justice triumphing over violence, is a perfect example of this style.
