Summary
[edit]Description"Contemplation of Justice" (890405974).jpg |
"Contemplation of Justice" Statue on the Supreme Court Plaza by James Earle Fraser. In this sculpture, a seated female figure reflects on a small figure of Justice that she holds in her right hand. The figure of Justice is blindfolded and cradles a set of scales in her arms. The portrayal of a female figure representing Justice dates back to depicitions of Themis and Justicia in ancient mythology. Themis, known for her clear-sightedness, was the Greek Goddess of Justice and Law. In Roman mythology, Justicia (Justice) was one of the four Virtues along with Prudence, Fortitude, and Temperence. Over time "Justice" became associated with scales to represent impartiality and a sword to symbolize power. During the 16th century 'Justice" was often portrayed with a blindfold. The origins of the blindfold is unclear, but it seems to have been added to indicate the tolerance of, or ignorance to, abuse of the law by the judicial system. Today, the blindfold is generally accepted as a symbol of impartiality, but may be used to signify these other traits in political cartoons. |
