Republic of Venice: Decision of the Council of 40 Senators of Venice (Council of Forty also known as Quarantia or Quarantia). Extract from the registers of May 3; 1761. Professed houses of Jesuits declared incapable of any inheritance. The Republic of Venice represented under the figure of Justice; threatens with its sword a Jesuit and with the scales does justice in favor of the supplicating Lord Lazzari. The two anchors symbolize the hope and commerce of the Nation. At the very bottom is written: Jesuit; stop here the stroke of avarice that will one day return you master of the universe. Leave true heirs a good that my justice will always take away from your perverse designs.??Paris; From Montalais; To Venice at Zattas; 18th century. Size: 185 x 115 cm.
