"Mercury Gives Paris The Golden Apple" is a renowned painting by the Italian Baroque artist Annibale Carracci, created in the late 16th or early 17th century. The artwork is a depiction of a scene from classical mythology, specifically the Judgment of Paris, which is a pivotal moment leading up to the Trojan War. In the myth, the Trojan prince Paris is chosen to decide who among the goddesses Hera, Athena, and Aphrodite is the fairest. Each goddess attempts to bribe him with offers of power, wisdom, or love, respectively. Mercury (Hermes in Greek mythology), the messenger of the gods, is sent to oversee the event and presents Paris with the golden apple, which he is to award to the chosen goddess.

Carracci's interpretation of this mythological event is celebrated for its dynamic composition and the skillful rendering of the human figure, reflective of the artist's classical influences and his role in the development of Baroque art. The painting is notable for its harmonious color palette and the elegant interaction of the figures, which showcase Carracci's mastery in capturing the complexities of human emotion and interaction. The work is part of Carracci's broader oeuvre, which played a significant role in the transition from the Renaissance to the Baroque period in art.

The painting is often discussed in the context of Carracci's influence on later artists, as well as his contribution to the narrative genre in painting. "Mercury Gives Paris The Golden Apple" not only exemplifies Carracci's technical prowess but also serves as a reflection of the cultural and artistic interests of the time, where mythological and allegorical subjects were commonly used to explore human nature and morality. The artwork remains an important piece for the study of Baroque art and continues to be admired for its aesthetic qualities and historical significance.
