EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Judgment of Paris, 1800-1900 (?)" takes us back to the enchanting world of Greek mythology. Created by an anonymous artist in the 19th century, this piece showcases a scene filled with divine beauty and celestial beings. In this artwork, we witness the pivotal moment when Paris, a mortal man, is tasked with choosing the most beautiful goddess among Aphrodite, Athena, and Hera. The composition is adorned with delicate cherubs and amorini who add an angelic touch to the overall ambiance. The artist's use of gouache on paper pasted down on sheet metal brings out vibrant colors that enhance each character's allure. The attention to detail in depicting their expressions and body language adds depth to their personalities. As we explore this masterpiece further, we are reminded of Italy's rich artistic heritage as it seamlessly blends classical themes with Italian aesthetics. This work finds its home at The Metropolitan Museum of Art where it stands as a testament to our fascination with ancient mythology. With its depiction of both male and female figures in various states of undress, this artwork captures the essence of nudity as a symbol for purity and vulnerability within religious contexts. It invites viewers to contemplate concepts such as beauty, choice, and divinity while immersing themselves in an era long gone but forever preserved through art.
