Fiat Judgment: When the Monetary Scales Balance
"And the debts of the world were weighed, and found wanting."
Fiat Judgment is a Bitcoin Renaissance artwork by Lucho Poletti, inspired by Hieronymus Bosch's "The Last Judgment" triptych. Just as Bosch depicted the divine judgment of souls, this piece envisions the final reckoning of the fiat monetary system.
The Vision
In the tradition of Renaissance master paintings depicting apocalyptic judgment scenes, Fiat Judgment presents a world where the sins of monetary debasement, infinite debt, and financial manipulation finally face their ultimate consequence. The central banking powers that have long controlled the monetary destiny of nations stand before the incorruptible truth of mathematical scarcity.
Artistic Inspiration
Hieronymus Bosch's original "Last Judgment" (c. 1482) depicted the Christian vision of souls being sorted between heaven and hell at the end of times. Poletti's interpretation translates this powerful imagery into the financial realm, where Bitcoin emerges as the standard against which all monetary instruments are measured and found lacking.
