EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of "The Great Judgment of Paris" a famous mythological tale depicted in sculpture by Auguste Renoir and Richard Guino. The scene portrays Paris, a shepherd, faced with the difficult task of choosing which goddess deserves the golden apple for being the most beautiful. In this intricate artwork, we see Athena, Aphrodite, and Hera standing before Paris, each adorned in their divine beauty. Their elegant postures and delicate features are masterfully carved into plaster by Renoir and Guino. The artists' attention to detail brings life to these mythical figures from ancient Greek mythology. Paris's contemplative expression reveals his struggle as he weighs his decision. With the golden apple held delicately in his hand, he must choose between three powerful goddesses who represent wisdom (Athena), love (Aphrodite), and marriage (Hera). This pivotal moment is frozen in time through this remarkable sculpture. The print showcases not only the artistic brilliance of Renoir and Guino but also highlights their collaboration on this piece created in 1914 at Musee d'Orsay in Paris. It serves as a testament to their dedication to preserving classical themes within contemporary art. As viewers gaze upon this image, they are transported back to an era where mythology intertwined with everyday life. It reminds us of our fascination with beauty and how subjective judgments can shape destinies – even those of gods and mortals alike.
