EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Judgement of Paris" a late 17th-century marble sculpture created by the German School. Currently housed in the State Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg, Russia, this exquisite relief depicts a pivotal moment from Greek mythology. In the scene, three goddesses - Minerva, Juno, and Venus - are vying for the golden apple of discord. The shepherd Paris is tasked with determining which goddess is the most beautiful and deserving of the coveted prize. As he stands before them, their nakedness accentuates their divine beauty and allure. The artist skillfully captures each goddess's distinct personality through intricate details and expert craftsmanship. Minerva exudes wisdom and intellect while Juno radiates regal power. Venus embodies sensuality and love as she confidently presents herself to Paris. "The Judgement of Paris" serves as an allegory for human desires and choices driven by physical beauty. It explores themes such as vanity, temptation, and subjective judgment that remain relevant even today. This remarkable print allows viewers to appreciate not only the artistry but also delve into ancient mythological narratives that continue to captivate audiences worldwide. Bridgeman Images has masterfully captured this timeless masterpiece from Fine Art Finder without compromising its integrity or commercial use intentions
