EDITORS COMMENTS
The Judgment of Paris" is a captivating oil on panel painting created by the renowned German artist Hans von Aachen during the transition period between the 16th and 17th centuries. This masterpiece, filled with the ethereal beauty of Northern Mannerism, showcases the ancient Greek mythological tale of Paris' decision to award the Golden Apple to the most beautiful goddess. Paris, the mortal prince, is depicted in the center, surrounded by the three goddesses - Venus, Aphrodite; Athena, Minerva; and Hera, Juno. Each deity, desiring to be considered the fairest, presents herself before Paris, who is assisted by the winged god Mercury and the cherubs. Venus, the goddess of love, is shown seductively carrying a mirror, reflecting her own beauty. Athena, the goddess of wisdom, is dressed in armor, symbolizing her strength and intelligence. Hera, the goddess of marriage and family, is depicted in regal attire, wearing a crown. The painting's vibrant colors and intricate details bring the mythological scene to life, transporting the viewer to the ancient city where the gods and goddesses resided. Hans von Aachen's mastery of the Mannerist style is evident in the elongated figures, the use of putti, and the overall sense of otherworldliness. This painting is a testament to the enduring power of mythology and the artistic heritage it has left behind. Currently, "The Judgment of Paris" can be found in the Nationalmuseum in Stockholm, Sweden, where it continues to inspire and captivate visitors from around the world. This painting is a must-see for anyone interested in the history of art, mythology, or the beautiful fusion of religion and art that characterized the Mannerist period.
