EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print of "The Judgement of Paris" by Peter Paul Rubens, we are transported to a world of mythological allure and timeless beauty. Painted between 1632-35, this oil on panel masterpiece showcases the artist's mastery in capturing the essence of temptation and desire. At the center of the composition stands a nude, voluptuous woman, her curves accentuated by Rubens' skilled brushwork. Her seductive gaze draws us in as she presents herself to Paris, who is tasked with choosing the most beautiful goddess among Hera, Athena, and Aphrodite. The tension in the air is palpable as each goddess vies for his favor. A magnificent peacock perches nearby, its feathers shimmering with iridescent hues that mirror the opulence and grandeur of Baroque art. Symbolizing immortality and eternal beauty in Greek mythology, it adds an element of regality to this scene. Rubens' attention to detail is evident throughout - from delicate folds in fabric to intricate patterns adorning architectural elements - creating a rich tapestry that transports us back centuries into ancient Greece. This print captures not only Rubens' artistic brilliance but also serves as a reminder of our fascination with human form and our enduring struggle against temptation. Displayed at London's National Gallery, it continues to captivate viewers with its timeless appeal.
