Légende
The Kiss of Peace and Justice, 1654. The figures of Peace (burning the weapons of war) and Justice (holding a sword and scales) embrace in a quiet landscape. The Latin inscription under the antique urn reads "Justice and Peace kissed" (referring to an Old Testament verse, Psalms 85:11). The subject may have had political significance: the painting?s date coincides with the end of the Fronde, a period of civil war in France during which the parlement (courts of appeal) and the nobility sought?unsuccessfully?to limit the power of the monarchy
