EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Judgement of Paris" by Hans SchAopfer, the Elder. Painted in the mid-16th century, this oil on wood masterpiece measures 32x41 cm and is housed in the National Museum in Stockholm, Sweden. In this scene from Greek mythology, we witness Paris being awakened by Mercury to make a fateful decision. Tasked with choosing the most beautiful among Juno, Minerva, and Venus, each goddess has promised him a unique gift if selected. Juno offers power, Minerva guarantees success as a warrior, while Venus tempts him with Helen of Troy - considered the epitome of beauty. The painting beautifully captures the moment when Paris gazes upon three stunning goddesses standing before him. The lush landscape provides an enchanting backdrop to this divine encounter. With its fortified walls and classical architecture reminiscent of ancient Greece or Rome, it transports us back to an era steeped in legend and myth. "The Judgement of Paris" is not only a visual feast but also serves as a reminder of humanity's fascination with beauty and desire throughout history. This German artwork continues to captivate viewers today with its masterful execution and timeless subject matter.
