EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking woodcut print, titled "Judgment of Paris" by Hans Springinklee, dates back to the 16th century and is a captivating representation of a pivotal moment in Greek mythology. Set against a backdrop of war and conflict, the image depicts Paris, a Trojan prince, seated between the three goddesses Hera, Athena, and Aphrodite. Each goddess offers Paris a bribe in an attempt to win his favor and secure his judgment in their favor in the famous beauty contest. Paris, enticed by Aphrodite's offer of eternal love and beauty, selects her as the most beautiful goddess. This decision sets in motion a chain of events leading to the infamous Trojan War. The print, created during the Renaissance period in Germany, showcases the intricate details of the armored figures and the dynamic interplay between the human and divine realms. The black and white, or monochrome, woodcut technique adds a sense of timelessness and gravity to the scene, as the stark contrast between light and dark highlights the intricacies of the composition. The print is a testament to the enduring allure of Greek mythology and the masterful artistry of Hans Springinklee. This masterpiece can be found in the prestigious National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., where it continues to captivate and inspire visitors from around the world. The Judgment of Paris by Hans Springinklee is a must-see for anyone interested in art history, mythology, or the rich cultural heritage of Europe.
