EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Judgment of Paris" a magnificent sculptural group created by Giosu d'Antonio during the 18th century in Renaissance-Baroque style. Preserved within the historic Carthusian monastery of San Martino in Naples, Italy, this masterpiece transports viewers to ancient times. The sculpture depicts an iconic moment from Greek mythology when Paris, a mortal prince, was tasked with deciding which goddess among Athena (Minerva), Aphrodite (Venus), and Hera (Juno) was the most beautiful. The artist skillfully captures the tension and allure of this divine competition through intricate details and lifelike forms. In this photograph taken around 1915-1920, we are presented with a mesmerizing composition that not only showcases the sculptural group but also incorporates natural elements such as clouds and meteorological phenomena. The figures are adorned in period costumes, reflecting fashion trends from Europe's first and second millenniums. While Paris stands at the center wearing a military helmet atop his head, Athena exudes wisdom with her headdress while holding onto her spear. Aphrodite appears nude yet graceful, representing beauty personified. Hera radiates regality as she dons an elaborate hairstyle and majestic attire. Surrounded by lush vegetation that adds depth to the scene, these mythological beings come alive before our eyes. Their presence evokes both admiration for their timeless beauty and curiosity about their stories passed down through generations. Through Alinari's lens, we can appreciate not only Giosu d'Antonio's artistic prowess but also marvel at how art transcends time itself. This print serves as a testament to humanity's enduring fascination with divinity, mythology, and historical periods like Greco-Roman culture - all encapsulated within one breathtaking image captured over a century ago.
