EDITORS COMMENTS
The Judgement of Paris, a captivating masterpiece by Hendrik van Balen the Elder, takes us back to the enchanting world of Greek mythology. This exquisite oil on canvas print, measuring 42x53 cm, is proudly displayed at the Brukenthal National Museum in Sibiu, Romania. The painting depicts a pivotal moment in ancient Greek lore when Paris, son of King Priam of Troy, was tasked with deciding which goddess among Hera, Athena, and Aphrodite was the most beautiful. In this scene set against a heavenly landscape adorned with flowers and garlands, cherubs fly overhead as Mercury - messenger of the gods - presents Paris with a crown of flowers. Nude female figures grace the composition as they eagerly await Paris' decision. The lush foliage and towering trees provide an idyllic backdrop for this mythical encounter. A loyal greyhound stands faithfully beside Paris while he contemplates his choice. Balen's attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke; from the intricate folds of fabric to the delicate features on each figure's face. The artist's signature can be found discreetly placed on the rim of a magnificent fountain that adds grandeur to this divine setting. This remarkable painting not only captures an iconic mythological event but also showcases Balen's exceptional talent as a Flemish painter during his time. It serves as a testament to art's ability to transport us into worlds filled with beauty and wonder.
