The Judgment of Paris
The Judgement of Paris
Pencil sketch on paper. 10.7” x 8.3"
Of the many versions I've seen, this is the funniest. And this was a favorite theme of male-gendered artists from the late Renaissance and for centuries thereafter. Flesh!
Paris of Troy, a shepherd, must choose the loveliest of three goddesses from Mt. Olympus, competing for a golden apple addressed to "the fairest" (by the goddess of discord, Eris.) Poor guy! Includes hieroglyphics in upper-left corner. Not yet translated.
