EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures "The Judgment of Paris" an engraving created by Raimondi, Marcantonio in the early 16th century. The scene depicts a pivotal moment from Greek mythology when Paris, a shepherd prince, is tasked with choosing the most beautiful goddess among Juno, Minerva, and Venus. In the image, we see Mercury waking Paris to witness the three naked goddesses who have each promised him a gift if chosen. Juno offers power, Minerva promises success as a warrior, while Venus tempts him with Helen of Troy - considered the epitome of beauty. Above them soars Winged Victory while the Sun rides in a chariot drawn by Castor and Pollux on horseback. River gods and a naiad surround them all amidst this grand spectacle. "The Judgment of Paris" is steeped in classical symbolism and showcases Raphael's influence on Raimondi's work. This Renaissance masterpiece beautifully portrays elements of legend and mythology through its intricate details and skillful composition. Currently housed at Yale University Art Gallery in New Haven, CT, USA; this enchanting engraving continues to captivate viewers with its depiction of divine beauty and eternal allure.
