"Justice and Divine Vengeance Pursuing Crime" is an oil painting completed in 1808 by the French artist Pierre-Paul Prud'hon. The work is a significant example of Neoclassicism, a movement that sought to emulate the arts of ancient Greece and Rome, and is known for its clarity, order, and balance. Prud'hon's painting is particularly noted for its allegorical content and its embodiment of the moral values and legal philosophies of the time.

The painting depicts two allegorical figures, Justice and Divine Vengeance, in pursuit of a criminal. Justice is traditionally represented with a set of scales and a blindfold, signifying impartiality and the measured consideration of evidence, while Divine Vengeance is often shown as a forceful, avenging figure. In Prud'hon's work, the figures are portrayed with a sense of dynamic movement, suggesting the relentless and inevitable pursuit of wrongdoing by moral and divine forces.

Measuring 244 cm by 328 cm, the painting was commissioned for the Criminal Court of Paris, reflecting the societal emphasis on law and order during the Napoleonic era. Prud'hon's use of chiaroscuro, the strong contrast between light and dark, adds a dramatic intensity to the scene, highlighting the emotional and ethical turmoil associated with crime and punishment.

"Justice and Divine Vengeance Pursuing Crime" is celebrated for its masterful composition and its poignant exploration of themes that resonate with universal human concerns about justice. The painting remains an important work in the oeuvre of Prud'hon and is a testament to the enduring influence of Neoclassical ideals in European art. It is currently housed in the Louvre Museum in Paris, where it continues to be studied and admired for its artistic and historical significance.
