Allegory of Peace and Justice (1717, Italy) by Carlo Carlone - Public Domain Catholic Painting

Justice and peace, according to Catholic Social Teaching, are closely intertwined^[1][2]. The pursuit of justice is essential for achieving peace, and love for all people demands that we promote peace in a world surrounded by violence and conflict^[1]. All human beings possess an equal and inalienable worth due to their creation in the image of God^[2], and the Church's understanding of society is expressed through its teachings on justice and peace.

Carlo Carlone (also known as Carlo Innocenzo Carlone or Carloni) was an Italian painter and engraver who was active especially in Germany^{[1][2][3][4][5]}. He was born in Scaria, near Como, Lombardy, Italy in 1686^[2][3][4][5] and died on May 17, 1775^[3]. He is best known for his ceiling of the Grand staircase of the Residenz at Würzburg^[1].
