Justice and Divine Vengeance Pursuing Crime, about 1805-1806. Additional Info: A dead man lies sprawled across the foreground while blood seeps into the ground from a wound in his neck and his murderer flees with the victims belongings in his arms. Above, Divine Vengeance, illuminating the way with a torch, and Justice, armed with sword and scales, pursue the criminal. Pierre-Paul Prudhon made this study for a monumental painting destined to hang behind the judges bench in the criminal courtroom of the Palace of Justice in Paris.
