EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate stained glass artwork titled "Justice" by Thomas Jervais. The image, courtesy of the esteemed Warden and Scholars of New College, Oxford, captures a fragment from the larger West Window commissioned in 1785. Created based on an oil sketch by renowned artist Sir Joshua Reynolds, this particular piece represents one of the four cardinal virtues. The focal point of the composition is a striking female figure embodying Justice herself. Clad in a flowing gown adorned with vibrant red hues, she holds both a sword and scales to symbolize her role as judge and arbiter. The delicate tracery surrounding her adds an ethereal touch to the overall gothic aesthetic. Through this stunning portrayal, Jervais skillfully personifies fairness and judgment while capturing the essence of justice itself. The meticulous attention to detail in every brushstroke highlights his mastery as an artist. As viewers gaze upon this remarkable print, they are transported into a world where virtue takes form through artistry. It serves as a reminder that justice is not merely an abstract concept but rather something tangible that can be admired and appreciated for its beauty and significance.
