Pax et Justitia’ Frans Floris de Vriendt (17 April 1519 – 1 October 1570 +/- 1550)

Pax et Justitia’ Frans Floris de Vriendt (17 April 1519 – 1 October 1570 +/- 1550) The main theme of the painting goes back to Psalm 85, verse 11 where justice and peace embrace each other. The theme of Pax et Justitia occurs several times in Southern Netherlandish painting of the second half of the sixteenth century. C. Van de Velde (p. 268, 270) mentions four more similar compositions attributed to Frans Floris from the Pushkin Museum (inv. no. 1155) in Moscow.
