EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Judgment of Paris" a masterpiece dating back to the early 16th century. Created by an unknown artist, this silver stained glass roundel depicts a pivotal moment in Greek mythology. In the image, Hermes, the messenger of gods, gently wakes up Paris, a shepherd chosen to decide who among Venus (foreground), Juno, and Minerva is the most beautiful. The focal point of this artwork lies in Hermes' outstretched hand offering a golden apple symbolizing his decision. What makes this piece truly remarkable is its production technique. Utilizing a compound of silver oxide applied to glass and fired in a kiln, it transforms into an exquisite translucent yellow stain.
