Description
A circular allegorical study of Justice by Raphael, featuring the central figure with scales and sword, surrounded by putti.
This circular composition depicts the personification of Justice, one of the four cardinal virtues painted by Raphael for the Stanza della Segnatura in the Vatican. The figure sits centrally, holding a sword in her right hand and a set of scales in her left. Her posture is balanced, reflecting the classical ideals of harmony and proportion that defined the High Renaissance period. She is surrounded by three putti, who hold tablets inscribed with Latin text, reinforcing the allegorical nature of the work.
The background features a gold-toned, mosaic-like texture, which provides a neutral yet decorative setting for the central figure. Raphael employs soft modelling in the drapery of the robes, creating a sense of volume and weight. The anatomical precision of the putti and the serene expression of the central figure demonstrate the artist's mastery of form and composition. This work was designed to occupy a specific architectural space within the papal apartments, where it formed part of a larger decorative programme intended to represent the intellectual and spiritual pursuits of the time.
Raphael's approach to this subject avoids excessive ornamentation, focusing instead on the clarity of the allegory. The use of light and shadow is subtle, guiding the viewer's eye across the circular frame. The inclusion of the scales and sword provides immediate visual cues to the virtue being represented, while the clouds beneath the figures suggest a celestial or elevated status. This print captures the technical precision of the original fresco, offering a clear view of the brushwork and the balanced arrangement of the figures. It is a representative example of the aesthetic values prevalent in early sixteenth-century Rome, where classical antiquity and Christian theology were synthesised into a unified visual language.

Artist Biography
Raphael
Raphael died on his birthday, at thirty-seven. Good Friday, 6 April 1520. He had been working himself to exhaustion on simultaneous commissions for the Pope, the Vatican, and half the Roman aristocracy. The fever that killed him may have been made worse by the bloodletting his doctors prescribed. He was the most famous artist in Europe. His funeral procession passed through streets lined with mourners and his unfinished painting, The Transfiguration, was placed at the head of his bier.
He was born in Urbino, the son of a painter. His father died when he was eleven, and by his teens he was already working in the studio of Perugino, whose smooth, symmetrical compositions gave Raphael his starting point. He surpassed Perugino quickly. He studied Leonardo's sfumato and Michelangelo's anatomical intensity and absorbed both without losing his own clarity. The Madonnas from his Florentine period (the Madonna of the Goldfinch, the Sistine Madonna) have a serene perfection that has been imitated for five hundred years and never matched.
Pope Julius II summoned him to Rome in 1508, the same year he commissioned Michelangelo for the Sistine ceiling. Raphael painted the Stanze della Segnatura: four rooms in the Vatican whose frescoes include The School of Athens, the single most famous image of classical philosophy. Plato and Aristotle walk through an ideal architecture surrounded by every major thinker of the ancient world. Raphael painted Michelangelo into the scene as Heraclitus, brooding alone on the steps. Michelangelo was furious.
He ran a large workshop that produced portraits, altarpieces, tapestry designs, and architectural plans. He was appointed architect of St Peter's Basilica. He was charming, diplomatic, and universally liked, which made Michelangelo dislike him even more.
