EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite Apulian red-figure bell-crater adorned with a mesmerizing scene of the Judgement of Paris. Crafted by the talented Rehearsal Painter during the period of 375-350 BC, this ceramic masterpiece stands at a height of 37 cm and is currently housed in the prestigious Ashmolean Museum at the University of Oxford, UK. The intricate details and vibrant colors depicted on this ancient artifact transport viewers back to the mythical era of Troy's Trojan War. The central focus lies on Paris, who finds himself caught between three powerful goddesses: Aphrodite, Athena, and Hera. Each deity seeks his favor through their unique offerings - love, wisdom, and power respectively. As we delve into this timeless tale captured on pottery, we witness Hermes standing beside Paris as he contemplates his decision. The tension in the air is palpable as these divine beings eagerly await his choice that will ultimately shape history. The craftsmanship displayed by Bridgeman Images allows us to appreciate every delicate brushstroke and meticulous attention to detail that brings this scene to life once more. This extraordinary piece not only serves as a testament to ancient Greek artistry but also offers us a glimpse into the rich mythology that continues to captivate our imaginations today.
