EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Judgment of Paris" was created by the talented artist Alois Petrak in the 19th century. The image captures a pivotal moment from Greek mythology, where three beautiful goddesses vied for the title of the fairest. In this circular composition, we see a group of men and women gathered around as Paris, portrayed as a handsome young man, is tasked with choosing which goddess deserves the golden apple. Petrak's engraving skillfully depicts each character's distinctive features and expressions, bringing this ancient tale to life. The nudity of both male and female figures adds an element of vulnerability and rawness to the scene. Through his meticulous attention to detail, Petrak transports us back in time to witness this legendary event unfold. The choice that Paris must make symbolizes not only physical beauty but also embodies deeper concepts such as power dynamics and personal preference. This thought-provoking artwork invites viewers to ponder their own judgments and decisions in life. Displayed at The Met museum, this piece showcases Petrak's exceptional talent as an artist hailing from Czechoslovakia. It serves as a testament to his enduring legacy within heritage art circles worldwide.
