Title: The Judgement of Paris (1632-6) by Rubens

Sketch/Paste picture:

Describe Analyze

Name: The Judgement of Paris (1632-6)
Artist: Peter Paul Rubens (1577-1640)
Medium: Panel painting, oil on oak

Movement: Flemish Baroque painting
Location: National Gallery, London
Interpret
THE JUDGEMENT OF PARIS was a contest
between the three most beautiful goddesses of
Olympos--Aphrodite, Hera and Athena--for the
prize of a golden apple addressed "To the
Fairest." The story began with the wedding of
Peleus and Thetis which all the gods had been
invited to attend except for Eris, goddess of
discord and it led to start the war of Trojan war.
The Greek mythological story of the Judgment of
Paris appears briefly in Homer's Iliad (24.25–30),
and is mentioned by several later writers
including Ovid and Lucian. Images of the story
appeared regularly on Greek Pottery as early as
the sixth century BCE, and the theme continued
to be popular in the art of classical antiquity,
before enjoying a major revival in Renaissance art
- not least because it afforded artists the
opportunity to depict three female nudes.
Judgement
I think there is a benefit about the painting
because it is trying to make us knowledgeable
about what happened in the time of gods and
goddesses.
