EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable artwork titled "Paris, 1460s" by Francesco di Giorgio Martini. Created using tempera on panel, this masterpiece measures 41.9x24.1 cm and is housed in the prestigious J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles, USA. The painting depicts a significant moment from Greek mythology, where the nymph Oenone foretells the disastrous consequences of her husband Paris' infatuation with Helen, the stunning queen of Sparta. Clad in armor, both Oenone and Paris are portrayed on separate panels that originally flanked a central piece illustrating their story as part of a wedding chest known as cassone. With its intricate details and vivid colors, this work transports viewers to ancient times filled with legends and gods. The artist skillfully captures the essence of classical beauty while incorporating elements of Flemish and Italian artistry. As we gaze upon this extraordinary composition, we are reminded of the timeless themes explored within it: love's complexities, fate's cruel hand, and the devastating consequences that can arise from ill-fated choices. Through this print by Bridgeman Images from Fine Art Finder, we have an opportunity to appreciate not only Martini's artistic prowess but also delve into one of history's most enduring tales – the Judgment of Paris – which ultimately led to Troy's downfall during the infamous Trojan War.
