EDITORS COMMENTS
The Story of Oenone and Paris, captured in this exquisite 15th-century panel by Francesco di Giorgio Martini, transports us to the realm of ancient Greek mythology. This tempera on panel print, measuring 34x17 cm, is housed in the prestigious J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles. The painting depicts a pivotal moment in the tragic tale of Paris, son of Priam and Hecuba, and his nymph wife Oenone. Paris finds himself torn between his love for Oenone and the irresistible beauty of Helen, already married to Menelaus. Guided by Venus (Aphrodite), he chooses Helen as his prize despite Oenone's prophetic warnings. These panels were originally part of a cassone or wedding chest—a symbol of marital union—making them all the more poignant. The intricate details showcase flemish craftsmanship combined with Italian Renaissance influences. Martini masterfully captures the emotions that swirl within this classical story: love, betrayal, and tragedy. The delicate brushstrokes bring life to each character while highlighting their distinct personalities. As we gaze upon this artwork steeped in legend and mythological symbolism—the wooden bow representing Paris' choice—we are reminded that even gods can be swayed by desire and that choices have far-reaching consequences.
