EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the 16th century, showcasing a copy of the renowned artwork "Judgment of Paris". Created by Barthel Beham and Jacob Binck, this engraving beautifully captures the essence of a timeless beauty contest. In this circular composition, we witness a group of individuals gathered in an idyllic countryside location. The scene unfolds as three women stand before a male figure, who is believed to be Paris from Greek mythology. With apples in hand, these women symbolize different aspects of beauty. The image exudes both grace and intrigue as it explores the concept of judgment and decision-making. Each woman's portrait reveals her unique charm and allure while vying for recognition as the most beautiful. As we delve into German Renaissance heritage art through this piece, we are reminded of its historical significance. The artists' attention to detail brings forth not only their technical skill but also their profound understanding of human form and expression. Displayed in a museum setting like The Met, this photograph print allows us to appreciate the mastery behind Beham and Binck's interpretation of such an iconic mythological tale. It serves as a reminder that throughout history, notions of beauty have shaped societies across cultures. With its striking contrast between light and shadow, this black-and-white rendition invites viewers to contemplate themes such as nakedness, competition, identity, and personal perception within society's standards.
