EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph, titled "Mythological Gallery: Judgement of Paris" transports viewers back to the 19th century in France. Created by Pierre Langlume, a renowned artist of his time, this artwork showcases his mastery in caricature and satire. The scene depicted is inspired by Greek mythology's famous Judgment of Paris. In this momentous event, three goddesses - Aphrodite, Hera, and Athena - compete for the title of the most beautiful. The viewer finds themselves amidst a gathering of influential figures from French society who have taken on the roles of these mythological characters. Langlume's lithotint technique brings depth and texture to each figure present in this satirical portrayal. With meticulous attention to detail, he captures both male and female participants engaged in animated discussions as they deliberate their choices. Through clever political undertones woven into this artistic masterpiece, Langlume offers an insightful commentary on societal norms and power dynamics prevalent during that era. This print serves as a testament to the enduring relevance of ancient myths within contemporary culture. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art (The Met), this piece stands as a testament to Langlume's skillful craftsmanship while providing viewers with an opportunity to reflect upon timeless themes such as beauty, choice, and human nature itself.
