EDITORS COMMENTS
The Judgment of Paris, 1555 (engraving) by Giorgio Ghisi captures a pivotal moment in Greek mythology. This exquisite print, housed at the San Diego Museum of Art, USA, depicts the fateful judgment that would ignite the Trojan War. In this scene, we witness three powerful goddesses vying for the golden apple of discord. Standing atop their majestic chariots against a breathtaking landscape backdrop, Aphrodite, Athena, and Hera await Paris' decision. The gods themselves look on from heaven as they eagerly anticipate his choice. Giorgio Ghisi's masterful engraving brings to life the mythological characters with remarkable detail and precision. Each deity exudes grace and beauty while embodying distinct qualities - Aphrodite representing love and desire; Athena symbolizing wisdom and strategy; Hera personifying power and authority. The composition is rich with symbolism as it explores themes of divine judgment and human folly. As Paris contemplates his decision under the watchful eyes of Hermes, he unknowingly sets in motion a chain of events that will shape history forever. This artwork serves as a testament to both ancient Greek mythology and Renaissance artistry. It invites viewers to delve into an epic tale where gods meddle in mortal affairs with far-reaching consequences.
