EDITORS COMMENTS
The Judgment of Paris," painted by Noël-Nicolas Coypel in 1728, is a captivating and intricately detailed allegorical masterpiece from the Baroque era. This oil on canvas painting, now housed in the Nationalmuseum in Sweden, showcases a pivotal moment in Greek mythology, as Paris, a Trojan prince, is called upon to decide which goddess is the fairest. Paris is depicted in the center, surrounded by the three goddesses - Venus, Aphrodite; Athena, Pallas Athena; and Hera, Juno. Each goddess attempts to bribe Paris with a gift, hoping to influence his decision. Venus offers him the golden apple adorned with the word "to the fairest," while Athena brandishes a helmet and Hera holds out an abundant cornucopia. Paris, with a thoughtful expression, gestures towards Venus, indicating his choice. The putti, or cherubs, surrounding the scene, react with excitement and anticipation. Above Paris, Mercury, the messenger god, hovers with a caduceus, symbolizing the power of persuasion. The painting's rich color palette and meticulous attention to detail are characteristic of the Baroque artistic school. The figures are rendered with a sense of grandeur and elegance, their nudity adding to the sensual and alluring atmosphere. The inclusion of animals, such as goats, adds a whimsical and fantastical element to the scene. The Judgment of Paris by Noël-Nicolas Coypel is a stunning example of the beauty and complexity of mythological painting, offering a glimpse into the religious and artistic heritage of the 18th century.
