The Orange or the Modern Judgment of Paris - A Parody of Beauty and Fashion
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print titled "The Orange or the Modern Judgment of Paris" takes us back to 1800s Paris, where Philibert Louis Debucourt skillfully stages a parody of the classical mythological tale. In this modern interpretation, a young man dressed in the fashionable Directoire style finds himself faced with a difficult decision - choosing between three alluring women. Debucourt's intricate engravings beautifully capture the aristocratic society of that era, showcasing their conversations and courtesans. The scene is filled with seduction and intrigue as these elegant ladies vie for his attention. However, what truly stands out in this artwork is not just the portrayal of human beauty but also an unexpected twist - instead of golden apples, our protagonist must choose between three luscious oranges. This playful substitution adds a touch of whimsy to an otherwise serious narrative. Through this clever juxtaposition, Debucourt invites us to reflect on societal values and perceptions of beauty during that time period. It serves as a reminder that even amidst political discussions and executive board meetings, desire can still sway hearts. As we admire this remarkable piece from Musee Carnavalet in Paris, let us appreciate its artistic brilliance while contemplating how notions of love and attraction have evolved over centuries.
