作品描述
The Justice of Trajan is an 1840 history painting by the French romantic artist Eugène Delacroix. It illustrates the Justice of Trajan, a legendary story about the Roman Emperor Trajan. Before departing for the Dacian Wars, Trajan was petitioned by a widow seeking justice for her murdered husband. He delayed his departure in order to personally render justice. The subject was likely to have been suggested by Delacroix's friend Frédéric Villot.
