EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and captivating print titled "Judgement of Paris" takes us back to the late 19th century, early 20th century era of French caricature art. Created by Jules Abel Faivre, a renowned cartoonist and caricaturist, this piece is part of Les Maitres de la Caricature album. The image portrays a comical scene from Greek mythology where Paris, a mortal man, is tasked with choosing the most beautiful goddess among Venus (Aphrodite), Athena, and Hera. The three naked goddesses are depicted in all their divine glory as they eagerly await his decision. With humor and wit characteristic of French cartoons, Faivre captures the tension and amusement surrounding Paris' choice. Each goddess presents herself differently; Venus exudes sensuality while Athena represents wisdom and Hera embodies regality. As we gaze upon this artwork, we can't help but wonder which goddess will be deemed the fairest. Beyond its humorous nature lies deeper themes such as beauty standards, power dynamics between gods and mortals, as well as the complexities of human desires. This print serves as a reminder that even mythical figures face dilemmas similar to our own. Faivre's skillful use of color lithography brings life to this iconic moment in Greek mythology. It invites us into an imaginative world where gods mingle with humans amidst laughter and mischief. A true testament to artistic brilliance capturing both mythological allure and timeless commentary on human nature.
