EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Judgment of Paris" by Hans Brosamer, dates back to the 16th century and offers a mesmerizing depiction of an ancient Greek myth. The image, created in black and white on buff laid paper, showcases the iconic moment when Paris, a shepherd prince, is called upon to choose the fairest goddess among Aphrodite, Athena, and Hera. With a bow and arrow at the ready, Paris gazes intently at the three goddesses, each attempting to bribe him with enticing offers. Aphrodite, the goddess of love, offers Paris the most beautiful Helen, while Athena, the goddess of wisdom, promises him victory in battle. Hera, the goddess of marriage and childbirth, tempts Paris with power and wealth. Paris, swayed by Aphrodite's allure, makes his decision, ultimately leading to the infamous Trojan War. This engraving in black on buff laid paper is a masterful work of art that transports us back to a time of mythology and ancient Greek culture. The circular composition, with its intricate details and expressive figures, showcases the skill and artistry of Hans Brosamer. The nudity and sensuality of the goddesses, as well as the muscular form of Paris, add to the allure and intrigue of this historic piece. This print is a valuable addition to any art collection or gallery, offering a glimpse into the rich heritage of European art and the enduring tales of Greek mythology.
