The Judgment of Paris
In this classic Baroque scene, the shepherd Paris faces an impossible choice: pick the most beautiful goddess among Hera, Athena, and Aphrodite. Holding the golden apple of discord, he's about to make a decision that will literally spark a war. The goddesses stand confidently, offering him bribes of power, wisdom, and love, while little cherubs watch the drama unfold in the shadows. It's the ultimate mythological love triangle gone wrong, setting the stage for the entire Trojan War! Dirck van der Lisse captures the tension perfectly with his dramatic lighting and lush landscape.
