EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Judgement of Paris" created by Raphael Sadeler in 1589. The artwork, belonging to the Metropolitan Museum of Art, depicts a significant moment from Greek mythology. In this scene, three goddesses - Hera, Athena, and Aphrodite - stand before Paris as he holds an apple symbolizing his choice for the most beautiful among them. The engraving beautifully captures the intricate details of each figure: their flowing robes, majestic helmets, and laurel wreaths adorning their heads. Surrounding them are angelic cherubs and amorini representing love and desire. A peacock gracefully stands nearby as a symbol of immortality. Raphael Sadeler skillfully portrays the tension in this allegorical composition through his masterful use of light and shadow. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every stroke engraved on this remarkable piece. "The Judgement of Paris" is not only a visual feast but also a reflection on human nature's eternal fascination with beauty and its subjective interpretation. This artwork serves as a testament to the enduring power of Greek mythology throughout history. As we gaze upon this stunning print by Raphael Sadeler, we are transported back to the 16th century when art was used as a medium for storytelling and contemplation. It reminds us that even centuries later, these timeless themes continue to captivate our imagination.
