EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in the history of the Republic of Venice, showcasing the Decision of the Council of 40 Senators on May 3, 1761. The Council, also known as Quarantia or Quarantia, declared that professed houses of Jesuits were incapable of any inheritance.
In the image, the Republic of Venice is personified as Justice herself, wielding a sword to threaten a Jesuit while holding scales to ensure fair judgment for Lord Lazzari who kneels before her in supplication. Symbolizing hope and commerce are two anchors at either side, representing the nation's aspirations and economic prosperity.
The intricate details in this artwork reveal a powerful message against greed and corruption. The inscription at the bottom warns the Jesuit to halt his pursuit of wealth through deceitful means, reminding him that true heirs will always prevail under Venetian justice.
This piece is not just a visual representation but also serves as a moral lesson about integrity and righteousness prevailing over dishonesty and manipulation. It is truly a testament to Venice's commitment to upholding justice and protecting its people from those who seek power through nefarious schemes.
