EDITORS COMMENTS
The Judgment of Paris" is a captivating masterpiece by the Danish artist Søren Kiær, showcasing the legendary tale from Greek mythology. Depicted in this 16th or 17th century oil on panel painting, the scene unfolds with Paris, the Trojan prince, seated among the goddesses Hera, Athena, and Aphrodite. Each goddess, represented by an entourage of cherubs and putti, tries to bribe Paris with promises of love, power, and beauty to secure his favor. Paris, with a thoughtful expression, holds up an apple, symbolizing the fruit of discord, which he is about to bestow upon the most deserving goddess. The ethereal beauty of the celestial beings, their amorini and cherubim attendants, and the vibrant colors of the painting transport us to a mythological realm. This stunning artwork, attributed to Søren Kiær, is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of the Renaissance period. The painting, now a part of the Nationalmuseum in Stockholm, Sweden, was likely influenced by the works of artists such as Michiel Janszoon van Mierevelt and Willem Snakenborg, who were active during the same time. The Judgment of Paris continues to captivate viewers with its intricate details, vivid colors, and the timeless story it tells. The painting's enduring appeal is a reminder of the power of art to transport us to other worlds and to inspire awe and wonder.
