About the piece
Painted in 1810 by Jean-Baptiste Vermay, this oil on canvas depicts the acquittal of Pierre Fourrey. The composition brilliantly captures the emotional release of the accused and his family, juxtaposed against the formal gravity of the legal and religious figures. A statue of Lady Justice in the background oversees the proceedings, reinforcing the moral weight of the scene.
