EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Jacob de Backer's masterpiece, "An Allegory of Truth and Justice (The Psalm of David, LXXXIV, 10-11)". The oil on canvas painting measures an impressive 183x145 cm and is currently held in a private collection. In this artwork, we witness a powerful depiction of biblical themes intertwined with symbolic imagery. A small group of people gathers outdoors, surrounded by architectural pillars that add grandeur to the scene. At the forefront stands a female figure, partially dressed and seated with poise. Her hand gestures convey wisdom and authority as she holds a book believed to be the Holy Bible. A cherubin hovers above her head while doves peacefully rest nearby, symbolizing peace and divine presence. The artist skillfully captures the essence of truth and justice through his use of color and composition. The allegorical nature of this piece invites contemplation on timeless concepts such as faith, righteousness, and moral values found within religious texts like the Psalms. De Backer's attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke; from the delicate rendering of bare feet to the intricate architecture surrounding the figures. This print allows us to appreciate not only de Backer's artistic prowess but also serves as a reminder that art has always been a medium for exploring profound ideas that resonate across time periods and cultures.
