EDITORS COMMENTS
In this engraving titled "Odyssey: The Judgment of Paris" artist George Percy Jacomb-Hood brings to life a pivotal moment in Greek mythology. The scene depicts the fateful judgment of Paris, a Trojan prince tasked with deciding which goddess is the most beautiful. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back to ancient Greece, where three powerful and alluring goddesses stand before Paris. Athena, Hera, and Aphrodite each present their case for why they deserve the golden apple labeled "To the Fairest". This decision will have far-reaching consequences for both mortals and gods alike. Jacomb-Hood's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of his engraving technique. From the flowing robes of the goddesses to their expressions filled with anticipation and desire, he captures the essence of this legendary event. This artwork originally served as an illustration for Walter Copland Perry's book "The Boys Odyssey" published by Macmillan in 1901. It beautifully complements Homer's epic poem "The Odyssey" by adding visual depth to its timeless narrative. As we admire this historical masterpiece from Bridgeman Images' collection, let us appreciate not only its artistic merits but also its ability to transport us into a world where gods meddled in mortal affairs and heroes embarked on extraordinary journeys.
