EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite C. 59-1927 Dish depicting the Judgement of Paris, a masterpiece created between 1544 and 1550 by Guido Durantino, or his workshop. Crafted from tin glazed earthenware, this dish stands at a modest height of 5 cm and is currently housed in the prestigious Fitzwilliam Museum at the University of Cambridge in the United Kingdom. The dish depicts the iconic mythological scene known as "the Judgement of Paris" where three goddesses - Aphrodite, Hera, and Athena - compete for a golden apple that will determine who is the fairest among them. The intricate details on this piece are truly remarkable; every brushstroke brings to life each character's expression and posture. Created in Urbino, Italy during an era when maiolica pottery was highly sought after, this dish exemplifies both technical skill and artistic prowess. Its vibrant colors and elaborate design showcase not only Durantino's talent but also highlight Urbino's reputation as a center for maiolica production. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported back in time to witness this mythical event unfold before our eyes. It serves as a testament to human creativity throughout history while reminding us of our fascination with mythology and storytelling. This image captures not just an object but also its rich cultural significance within art history.
