About the Item
Oil on Canvas.
The large painting depicts the famous mythological episode of the Judgement of Paris, the event that helped trigger the Trojan War.
Paris, a Trojan prince, was called upon to settle the dispute among the three goddesses Hera, Athena and Aphrodite over who deserved the golden apple to be awarded to "the fairest," thrown by the goddess Discord on the table of the gods.
Each of the three goddesses promised Paris a reward in exchange for the apple, and he chose Aphrodite, who had promised him the most beautiful woman in the world, namely Helen the wife of Menelaus, king of Sparta.
In the large scene, Paris is seated in the center, between the legs of the goddess Aphrodite, to whom he holds out the apple with her arm raised; Aphrodite with one hand is reaching for the apple as she turns upward to indicate to the god Cupid, hovering above her, to carry out her task.
On the left, the other two goddesses give their backs, indignant and frowning, while above, the god Mercury decrees Aphrodite's victory, pointing to her with his staff, the caduceus symbolizing the 'agreement reached, and the god Cupid, on Aphrodite's instructions, prepares the fiery stral with which he will make Helen fall in love with Paris.
Completing the scene is a putto pouring water from a vase from above, perhaps a kind of baptism, or consecration of choice.
The figures, imposing and strongly carnal, fill the scene in an intertwining of bodies, which with the variation in the colors of the incarnations-pale those of the deities, brighter that of the shepherd prince, (the only mortal in the fact!), but played all in a 'single color scheme-, they realize color homogeneity.
Restored and re-tinted, the painting is presented in a styled frame.
