EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating painting "Paris Being Admitted to the Bedchamber of Helen" by Jacob de Backer transports us back to ancient Greek mythology, specifically the legendary tale of the Trojan War. This oil on canvas masterpiece, housed in the J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles, USA, measures an impressive 119.4x171.5 cm. The scene depicted is filled with intrigue and seduction as Paris, son of Priam and Hecuba, gains access to Helen's bedchamber. Paris had eloped with Helen after being promised by Venus (Aphrodite) that he would have the most beautiful woman on earth as his prize. However, this act sparked a war between Troy and Sparta. In this Flemish artwork from around 1585-90, we witness a pivotal moment in history where love and beauty collide with political consequences. The naked figure of Paris stands before a breathtakingly beautiful Helen who was already married to Menelaus, king of Sparta. Backer skillfully captures both the vulnerability and allure present in this classical tale through his masterful brushstrokes and attention to detail. The composition draws our gaze towards these two central figures while hinting at the impending chaos that their forbidden love will unleash upon Troy. This painting serves as a reminder of how timeless stories can be immortalized through artistry—forever preserving moments that continue to captivate audiences centuries later.
