EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Valerio Belli's masterpiece, the "Judgment of Paris". Created in the 16th century, this gilded bronze relief carving depicts a pivotal moment in Greek mythology. The oval-shaped medallion features three prominent goddesses - Hera, Athena, and Aphrodite - alongside Paris, a young man faced with an extraordinary choice. Belli's attention to detail is evident as he skillfully captures the beauty of each deity. The women exude grace and elegance while displaying their distinct qualities: Hera radiates regal authority, Athena embodies wisdom and strength, and Aphrodite emanates irresistible allure. Their nudity symbolizes vulnerability but also emphasizes their divine essence. The sculpture's composition draws viewers into the narrative as they witness Paris grappling with his decision. This artwork transports us back to ancient times when gods walked among mortals and influenced human destinies. Displayed at the National Gallery of Art in Washington D. C. , this Italian masterpiece stands as a testament to Belli's artistic prowess and his contribution to religious art during the Renaissance period. Its presence within this prestigious gallery highlights its significance within our cultural heritage. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece by Valerio Belli, we are reminded of the enduring power of mythological tales that continue to captivate audiences centuries later.
