"Paris Holding The Golden Apple" is a notable painting by the Italian Baroque artist Baldassarre Franceschini, also known as Il Volterrano. Franceschini, born in 1611 in Volterra, Tuscany, was a prominent figure in the Baroque movement, known for his dynamic compositions and vivid use of color. His works often depicted religious and mythological themes, rendered with a dramatic flair characteristic of the Baroque period.

The painting "Paris Holding The Golden Apple" illustrates a pivotal moment from Greek mythology, specifically the Judgment of Paris. According to the myth, Paris, a prince of Troy, was chosen to determine the fairest among the goddesses Hera, Athena, and Aphrodite. Each goddess offered him a bribe: Hera promised power, Athena offered wisdom and skill in war, and Aphrodite tempted him with the love of the most beautiful woman in the world, Helen of Sparta. Paris awarded the golden apple to Aphrodite, an act that ultimately led to the Trojan War.

Franceschini's depiction captures Paris in a contemplative pose, holding the golden apple, symbolizing his crucial decision. The artist's mastery is evident in the detailed rendering of Paris's expression and the intricate play of light and shadow, which adds a sense of depth and realism to the scene. The use of rich, warm colors and the fluidity of the brushstrokes are characteristic of Franceschini's style, reflecting the influence of his Baroque contemporaries.

This painting not only showcases Franceschini's technical skill but also his ability to convey complex narratives through visual art. "Paris Holding The Golden Apple" remains an exemplary piece within Franceschini's oeuvre, highlighting his contribution to Baroque art and his interpretation of classical mythology.
