EDITORS COMMENTS
Rosebud, or the Judgement of Paris" is a captivating masterpiece by Richard Westall that transports us to the mythological world of ancient Greece. This exquisite print, created in 1791, showcases Westall's mastery of watercolor and bodycolour techniques on paper. The scene depicted is none other than the infamous beauty contest among three powerful goddesses: Juno, Minerva, and Venus. The Trojan prince Paris acts as the judge in this pivotal moment that would shape history. Each goddess seeks his favor by offering their unique gifts - Juno promises power and wealth, Minerva offers wisdom and skill in war, while Venus entices with love and beauty. In this enchanting composition, we witness Paris carefully considering his decision as he stands alongside a loyal shepherd dog. The tension is palpable as envy fills the air; each goddess desperately vies for victory. Aphrodite's radiance shines through as she emerges triumphant from this celestial competition. Westall's attention to detail brings these mythological figures to life with grace and elegance. Through his brushstrokes, we are transported into an era where gods walked amongst mortals. This remarkable artwork now resides at Yale Center for British Art in the Paul Mellon Collection. It serves as a testament to Westall's talent and continues to captivate viewers with its timeless allure.
