Summary:	'Roep om rechtvaardigheid' belicht de rijke en fascinerende wisselwerking tussen kunst, de praktijk van de rechtspraak en het idee van rechtvaardigheid in de gebieden die onder de jurisdictie van de Grote Raad van Mechelen hebben gestaan tijdens de hoogdagen van deze instelling. Kunstwerken uit de Bourgondische Nederlanden van het midden van de vijftiende tot het midden van de zeventiende eeuw worden gesitueerd in de woelige juridische, politieke en culturele context waarin ze zijn ontstaan: de vereniging van de Nederlanden, het steeds absolutistischer wordende bestuur van keizer Karel V, de Reformatie en de Opstand tegen Spanje. Roep om rechtvaardigheid toont aan hoe deze kunstwerken op een krachtige manier een van de meest universele menselijke verlangens zichtbaar hebben gemaakt: het streven naar rechtvaardigheid en de complexe confrontatie daarvan met de werkelijkheid. Met prestigieuze topwerken van onder meer Quinten Massijs, Maarten van Heemskerck, Pieter Bruegel de Oude, Maarten de Vos, Peter Paul Rubens, Antoon van Dyck en Philippe de Champaigne. Exhibition: Museum Hof van Busleyden, Mechelen, Belgium (23.03.-24.06.2018).

Description
Summary:	- The human fight for justice as illustrated by prestigious masterpieces from the Burgundian Netherlands, featuring a stunning collection of prestigious master pieces - Contributions from some twenty academics and experts Call for Justice highlights the rich and fascinating interaction between art, the practice of law and the idea of justice in the territories governed by the Great Council of Mechelen when at the height of its powers. Works of art from the Burgundian Low Countries dating from the mid-fifteenth to mid-seventeenth century are situated within the turbulent legal, political and cultural context in which they were created: the unification of the Netherlands, the increasingly absolutist administration of Emperor Charles V, the Reformation and the uprising against Spain. Call for Justice reveals how these artworks make visible, and in a powerful way, one of the most universal of all human desires: the pursuit of justice. Including prestigious masterpieces by, amongst others, Quinten Matsys, Maarten van Heemskerck, Pieter Bruegel the Elder, Maarten de Vos, Peter Paul Rubens, Anthony van Dyck and Philippe de Champaigne. The publication accompanies the exhibition of the same name at the Museum Hof van Busleyden in Mechelen (23 March - 24 June 2018), which forms part of the city festival OP. RECHT. MECHELEN. The exhibition is organized in collaboration with the KMSKA., and is one of the most important exhibitions of spring 2018.
