EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the iconic painting "The Judgement of Paris" by Joachim Wtewael or Utewael, dating back to 1615. The masterpiece, housed in the National Gallery in London, UK, depicts a pivotal moment from Greek mythology. In this scene, Mercury awakens Paris to witness three goddesses - Juno, Minerva, and Venus - who are vying for his favor. Each goddess has promised Paris a unique gift if he chooses her as the most beautiful. Juno offers power, Minerva guarantees success as a warrior, while Venus entices him with the prospect of possessing Helen of Troy – considered the epitome of beauty at that time. The composition is richly detailed and showcases Wtewael's exceptional skill in capturing both human form and landscape. This mannerist artwork beautifully combines elements of Dutch artistry with classical themes. "The Judgement of Paris" remains an enduring symbol of competition and desire throughout history. It explores timeless concepts such as beauty and temptation while delving into ancient legends like the Trojan War. With its ethereal depiction of gods and cherubs surrounding these alluring goddesses, this painting continues to captivate viewers even centuries after its creation.
