EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "Le jugement de Paris" a masterpiece by an unknown German master from the mid-16th century. The painting, created during the German Renaissance period, is housed in the prestigious State A. Pushkin Museum of Fine Arts in Moscow. The artwork depicts a scene from Greek mythology known as "The Judgment of Paris". In this mythological tale, Paris, a shepherd and prince of Troy, is tasked with deciding which goddess among Venus (Aphrodite), Hera, and Minerva (Athena) is the most beautiful. Each goddess tries to sway his decision by offering him various gifts. In the painting, we see these mythological figures portrayed with exquisite detail and vibrant colors. Venus stands confidently at the center while holding an apple symbolizing her beauty. Surrounding her are Mercury (Hermes), who serves as a mediator in this competition; Hera wearing a crown representing her status as queen of gods; and Minerva adorned with a helmet signifying wisdom. The composition also includes other elements such as Cupid (Eros), birds like peacocks symbolizing immortality and beauty, and even a shepherd witnessing this extraordinary event. This print allows us to appreciate not only the artistic skill but also delve into ancient Greek mythology through visual storytelling. It invites viewers to contemplate notions of beauty, rivalry between gods and goddesses, and human judgment—a true testament to art's ability to transcend time and captivate our imagination.
