fresco
From the collection of Uffizi Gallery
Justice of Zaleuco is a 1521 fresco by Perino del Vaga, a Mannerism work, depicting Man, held at Uffizi Gallery.
This painting shows a crowded scene of people gathered around a man who is cutting another man's hair. The man cutting hair is shirtless, wearing a short skirt, and has a cloth wrapped around his head. He is holding scissors in one hand and the other man's hair in the other. The other man is sitting on a stone block, wearing a white robe with an orange sash. The people around them are all dressed in robes, some with hoods up, and they seem to be watching the haircut. In the background, there is a landscape with trees and a body of water. The overall atmosphere of the painting is one of calmness and focus.
