EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph titled "Le jugement de Paris" captured by Louis-Emile Durandelle in 1875, we are transported to the enchanting streets of Paris, France. The image showcases a moment frozen in time, depicting a scene inspired by Greek mythology. The composition centers around three elegantly dressed women who represent the goddesses Athena, Hera, and Aphrodite. They stand before a young man known as Paris, who is tasked with deciding which of them is the most beautiful. This pivotal moment from ancient lore has been beautifully recreated through Durandelle's lens. The artist's meticulous attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this albumen silver print. From the intricate folds of fabric on each figure's gown to the architectural details adorning the surrounding buildings, every element contributes to an atmosphere of timeless elegance. Durandelle's mastery lies not only in his technical precision but also in his ability to capture emotion within stillness. The expressions on each goddess' face reveal their anticipation and vulnerability as they await Paris' judgment. This remarkable photograph from the Liszt Collection serves as a testament to both Durandelle's artistic vision and his dedication to preserving history through visual storytelling. It invites us into a world where myth intertwines with reality and reminds us that even centuries-old tales can continue to captivate our imagination today.
