EDITORS COMMENTS
El Juicio De Paris, (The Judgment of Paris), 1639, captures the timeless tale from Greek mythology where Paris must make a fateful decision. Commissioned by Philip IV of Spain, this masterpiece by Peter Paul Rubens brings to life the moment when three goddesses vie for the title of most beautiful. In this oil on panel painting held in the Museo del Prado, Madrid, we witness Hera, Athena, and Aphrodite standing before Paris. The artist skillfully portrays their divine beauty and power through intricate details and vibrant colors. As they present themselves to him with grace and allure, it is evident that each goddess possesses her own unique charm. Paris stands at the center of attention as he contemplates his choice. His hand holds an apple – a symbol of discord that will ultimately determine the fate of gods and mortals alike. The tension in his expression reflects the weighty decision he faces. Rubens' mastery shines through in this baroque-era artwork as he expertly combines elements of mythology with human emotion. Through nudity and symbolism intertwined with religious undertones, he explores themes such as beauty, judgment, and desire. This print transports us back to a pivotal moment in Greek mythology while showcasing Rubens' artistic brilliance. It serves as a testament to both his talent and enduring legacy.
