Lady Justice: An Anatomy of Allegory offers a fresh perspective on this significant figure in European legal history, challenging conventional readings. Hayaert's study brings together a comprehensive analysis of thousands of images from the period 1400-1600, including previously overlooked artwork, frontispieces, legal texts, sculptures, and statues in public spaces and court buildings across six countries. By dissecting Lady Justice organ by organ, limb by limb, digit by digit, Hayaert makes a compelling case for a nuanced treatment of allegory, encompassing its complexity, ambiguity, and affective force. This interdisciplinary study goes beyond the iconographic orthodoxy of art historians and the reductive interpretations of legal historians, transcending styles and schools and spanning a wide range of time and space. Hayaert identifies Lady Justice as the seat of the law's conscience, an archetype of the judges' daimon, and an affective, numinous address to all who have been moved by her enduring presence over seven centuries.
