Ontwerp voor een plafondschildering met allegorie op de Waarheid en Gerechtigheid 1677 - 1755

This design for a ceiling painting, created between 1677 and 1755 by Elias van Nijmegen, depicts an allegory of Truth and Justice. The central scene features two figures, likely representing the abstract concepts, soaring through a cloudy sky. The design incorporates ornate Baroque-style elements, including decorative scrolls, rosettes, and medallions. The detailed composition and use of watercolor suggest a highly skilled artist with a mastery of classical traditions. The piece offers a glimpse into the artist's vision and artistic style during the Baroque era, highlighting the importance of allegorical representations and decorative flourishes in ceiling painting.
