The bronze sculpture of Justice, with its double gold and brown patina, is a work imbued with symbolism and elegance.
It is based on the eponymous sculpture created in 1715 by the French sculptor Claude Franchomme.
The female figure embodies impartiality, her eyes blindfolded to signify that each judgment is rendered without prejudice or favoritism.
In her left hand, she holds a pair of scales, a universal symbol of fairness and moderation, while her right hand brandishes a sword, recalling the strength and firmness necessary to enforce the law.
At the foot of the statue, a serpent slithers, an element often interpreted as a symbol of prudence, cunning, or sometimes the temptation that threatens justice itself.
This allegory rests on a black marble base, which gives it stability and majesty, contrasting harmoniously with the warmth of the bronze's golden patina. This work powerfully embodies the fundamental principles of justice: wisdom, balance, and firmness.
