EDITORS COMMENTS
The Judgement of Paris" by Jules Elie Delaunay is a captivating oil on canvas masterpiece that transports us back to the mythical Trojan War era. This round tondo painting, measuring 89x88 cm, showcases the iconic moment when Paris, a prince of Troy, was tasked with deciding which goddess among Athena, Hera, and Aphrodite was the most beautiful. In this visually stunning composition, Delaunay skillfully captures the tension and anticipation surrounding this fateful contest. The three goddesses stand before Paris in all their divine glory while he struggles to make his choice. Each figure exudes distinct characteristics: Athena radiates wisdom and strength; Hera embodies regal authority; and Aphrodite emanates sensuality and allure. The artist's meticulous attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke as he brings these mythological figures to life. From their flowing garments to their expressive faces filled with longing or determination, each element contributes to the narrative unfolding before our eyes. This print from Fine Art Finder allows us to appreciate Delaunay's artistic prowess up close. Displayed at Musee Bonnat in Bayonne, France, it serves as a testament not only to the enduring appeal of classical mythology but also to the timeless beauty found within masterpieces like "The Judgement of Paris.
