EDITORS COMMENTS
This 17th-century painting, titled "The Judgment of Paris" by Giovanni Paolo Cervetto, transports viewers to the mythical world of ancient Greece. The scene depicts a pivotal moment in Greek mythology where the shepherd Paris is tasked with deciding which goddess should receive the golden apple as a prize for being the most beautiful. In this beautifully crafted artwork, we witness Athena, Aphrodite, and Hera standing before Paris in all their divine glory. Each goddess exudes an aura of power and allure as they eagerly await his decision. The artist's attention to detail is evident in the intricate brushwork that brings out every delicate feature of these mythological characters. As we delve into this masterpiece, we are reminded of themes such as free will and beauty contests prevalent throughout history. The celestial presence of angels and seraphs adds an ethereal touch to the composition while emphasizing the significance of this momentous event. "The Judgment of Paris" serves not only as a testament to Cervetto's artistic prowess but also as a window into Greek mythology and its enduring influence on art. This painting from Genoa's Collezione numismatica Banca Carige collection captivates us with its timeless depiction of gods and mortals locked in a contest that would shape destiny itself.
