Justice, Vengeance, and Truth 1865

"Justice, Vengeance, and Truth" is a 1865 lithograph by French artist François-Nicolas Chifflart. The print depicts a dramatic scene in which a winged figure, symbolizing justice, soars above a group of fallen figures representing evil. The figures are locked in struggle, with Justice wielding a sword and the figure of Vengeance holding a balance scale. The composition is dynamic, with the figures arranged in a swirling, chaotic manner. Chifflart's use of light and shadow creates a strong sense of drama and suspense. The scene is full of symbolic elements, suggesting the triumph of good over evil and the importance of justice in the world. This print is a striking example of Chifflart's work, which is characterized by its allegorical content and its bold, expressive style.
