"Three Sisters" By Artist Trevor Goring

I sought my soul, but my soul I could not see. I sought my Gods, but my Gods eluded me. I sought my sisters, and I found all three. Three civic sisters from 14th century Italy, three sisters of the law each with their unique character and allegorical story to tell. Two are from Florence, the first, headscarf flowing, carries a book of law and scales, the second holds the traditional sword, most untraditionally, as fulcrum with the globe, or affairs of the world, balanced against the hook of trade and commerce. The third sister is from Siena, sword of strength and crown of just rewards in hand, she firmly sets herself to the defense of the law. Sometimes you can hear their three voices in unison: Seek the good, avoid evil. Do good to others, injure no-one and render to all their own.
