EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Peter Paul Rubens' masterpiece, "The Judgment of Paris". Painted in 1639, this oil on canvas artwork is housed in the Prado Museum in Madrid, Spain. The image showcases a curiously intense scene featuring a young girl and a shepherd engaged in an intriguing rivalry. In this mythological tale, three goddesses - Venus Aphrodite, Hera Junon, and Athena - compete for the title of the most beautiful. As they stand before Paris, the judge of their beauty contest, an angel hovers above them with an apple symbolizing recompense. Nudity and divine grace are depicted flawlessly by Rubens as he explores themes of human desire and pagan beliefs. The Flemish artist's baroque style shines through every brushstroke as he masterfully portrays not only the characters but also animals and botanical elements surrounding them. The rich colors and intricate details bring life to this 17th-century painting. Luisa Ricciarini's photograph beautifully captures all these elements while highlighting the exquisite beauty that lies within this work of art. With her lens focused on specific details like mutton being prepared or youth observing from afar, she adds depth to our understanding of Rubens' vision. This print serves as a testament to both artistic mastery and natural history intertwined seamlessly within one frame. It invites viewers into a world where mythology meets religion while showcasing Dutch talent at its finest.
