EDITORS COMMENTS
This etching by Richard Woodman, titled "Judgement of Paris," transports us back to the Baroque era of the 19th century. The image depicts a pivotal moment in Greek mythology, where Paris, a young shepherd, is surrounded by three seductive goddesses - Aphrodite, Athena, and Hera - each vying for his favor. Paris is shown in the center, deep in thought, as he makes his decision, while the goddesses look on with anticipation. The etching, created in black and white, showcases the intricate details of the figures and their expressions. The goddesses are depicted in their full nudity, a common theme in Baroque art, while Paris is clothed, highlighting the contrast between the divine and the mortal. The use of chiaroscuro, the play of light and shadow, adds depth and dimension to the image. This etching is a masterful interpretation of Peter Paul Rubens' painting of the same name, which hangs in the Royal Collection in London. Woodman's etching is a testament to the enduring legacy of Rubens' work and the continued fascination with Greek mythology and its timeless themes. The "Judgement of Paris" is a must-see for anyone interested in art, religion, or mythology. It is a valuable addition to any art collection or gallery, and a reminder of the rich artistic heritage that spans centuries.
