The Judgment of Paris
EDITORS COMMENTS
by Giulio Bonasone captures a pivotal moment in ancient Greek mythology. In this print, the artist skillfully depicts the beauty contest that sparked the Trojan War. The scene is set in an ancient city, with mythical deities gathered to witness the fateful decision. The central figures are Paris, a Trojan prince, and three goddesses: Venus (goddess of love), Minerva (goddess of wisdom), and Juno (queen of gods). They stand before Jove (Jupiter), who acts as judge. Each goddess seeks to win Paris' favor by offering him various gifts. Bonasone's etching and engraving technique brings out intricate details, showcasing his mastery as an Italian Renaissance artist. The expressions on each character's face reveal their desires and hopes for victory. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are transported back to a time when divine beings walked among mortals. It reminds us of the power that beauty holds over human hearts and how choices can shape destinies. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this print serves as a testament to our enduring fascination with ancient Greek mythology. It invites viewers to ponder questions about desire, judgment, and consequences while appreciating Bonasone's artistic brilliance. This print allows us to connect with our cultural heritage through art—a timeless medium that transcends centuries and continents.
