Therefore justice is always been represented in paintings and jus wasn't. <br />We saw justice represented as one of the primary value ( always right, always fair, always impartial) and this position couldn't be take by jus, which is created by humans( so it can be unfair ,unjust, wrong).Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11013412652434008451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5391347922504378410.post-91399179176380903192014-03-28T18:53:59.962+01:002014-03-28T18:53:59.962+01:00E.C: with standard.

By law we mean a set of commands, called standards , which are guaranteed by the state, even by force . In my opinion , following this definition , the law is something to be strongly linked to the man and his inviolable autonomy. Justice is linked to the right , it is the foundation of the law, it is legitimacy of the law. It thus appears to be a metaphysical concept , which has foundation in nature, in morality , better yet an ideal concept in fact in ancient times, Justice represented the natural order of society , understood as a universal concept . For example , in Greek society justice was understood as the limit beyond which you sinned of " hubris " that is, the arrogance , pride , something negative. I think it is precisely for this reason that was represented only the " Justice " and not the law; because it is something natural, on a higher level of law (human), and thus better observed by all.<br /><br /><br />Luigi WinklerAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02212798944941272913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5391347922504378410.post-14106496421036920632014-03-28T11:02:29.263+01:002014-03-28T11:02:29.263+01:00As a follow up to the previous comment: what about...As a follow up to the previous comment: what about the painting representing Gent that he showed us today?

Do you remember that Prof. Martyn showed us the seven paintings in the townhall in Danzig? You certainly remember that IUSTITIA was always present, in different attitudes and positions - in the different representations and scenes (salus patriae, etc.).<br />Why do you think IUSTITIA was always present and IUS wasn't? Let's discuss!Dr. Angela Condellohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09745305006203763134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5391347922504378410.post-9079730545941823372014-03-26T18:07:08.185+01:002014-03-26T18:07:08.185+01:00In today's lesson we looked at the importance ...In today's lesson we looked at the importance of iconography in the development and justification of the law. Until the French Revolution the power of the law , it was believed , was descended from God, and the paintings of antiquity and the Middle Ages are related to this concept ( vertical scepter symbol of power , the tree that tends to God, the coronation by the Pope to the king like the coronation of Carlo Magno ); after the French Revolution the power is no longer legitimized from above, from God , but in the " general will " expressed in the Parliament . So , I think to a famous painting by David , titled " The Coronation of Napoleon ." In this painting we see Napoleon , in the cathedral of Notre Dame, take the crown at the top, and then place it on the head of Josephine. This iconography , is the first step that breaks with the tradition of the Ancient Regime. Napoleon with his back to the Pope, marks the end of the legitimacy of power that wants the Pope to crown its King , but its almost sacred place in the context makes it clear that he is still the holder of a divine law.<br /><br />Place the link to this picture :<br /><br />http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/39/Jacques-Louis_David_006.jpg<br /><br />Luigi WinklerAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02212798944941272913noreply@blogger.com
