EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print, titled "The God Mercury Waking Paris to Judge the Contest of the Golden Apple" we are transported back in time to witness a pivotal moment in Greek mythology. Painted by Lucas Cranach (1472-1553) or his studio, this masterpiece now resides at the Rafael Valls Gallery in London. The scene unfolds with Mercury, the messenger of gods and guide of souls, gently rousing Paris from his slumber. The young prince is tasked with an extraordinary responsibility - judging a contest between three powerful goddesses: Venus, Juno, and Minerva. Each vying for possession of a golden apple inscribed with the words "To the Fairest". As rays of dawn illuminate their surroundings, we see Paris awakening amidst lush greenery and delicate flowers. His expression reveals both curiosity and trepidation as he prepares to make a decision that will shape history forever. This painting exemplifies Cranach's skillful portrayal of mythological narratives within Northern Renaissance art. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke - from the intricate folds of fabric adorning each goddess to their distinct facial expressions conveying desire, power, and intellect. "The God Mercury Waking Paris" invites us into an ancient world where beauty becomes entangled with politics and divine intervention shapes mortal destinies. It serves as a reminder that even seemingly insignificant choices can have far-reaching consequences – just like Paris' fateful decision on that eventful day long ago.
