"Head of Paris" is a notable sculpture by the prominent Danish-Icelandic neoclassical artist Bertel Thorvaldsen (1770–1844). Thorvaldsen, who spent most of his working life in Italy, is considered one of the leading figures of European Neoclassicism in sculpture. He is known for his ability to imbue marble with a sense of softness and life, often drawing inspiration from ancient mythology and classical themes.

The sculpture "Head of Paris" depicts Paris of Troy, a significant character in Greek mythology known for his role in precipitating the Trojan War. Paris's decision to award Aphrodite the golden apple in the Judgment of Paris led to the war, making him a pivotal figure in mythological narratives. Thorvaldsen's representation of Paris is consistent with his artistic style, which often portrayed mythological figures with idealized beauty and serene expressions.

Created during the height of Thorvaldsen's career, "Head of Paris" exemplifies the artist's mastery of form and his ability to capture the essence of his subjects with both realism and idealism. The sculpture is characterized by its refined execution, attention to detail, and the smooth, polished surface that is typical of Thorvaldsen's works.

"Head of Paris" is not only a testament to Thorvaldsen's skill as a sculptor but also reflects the broader cultural and artistic trends of the early 19th century. The work aligns with the Neoclassical movement's emphasis on the revival of classical antiquity, which was seen as a source of high moral standards and aesthetic purity.

The sculpture remains an important piece in the oeuvre of Bertel Thorvaldsen and continues to be studied for its artistic merit and historical significance within the context of Neoclassical art. It is a prime example of the enduring appeal of classical themes in the arts and the lasting legacy of Thorvaldsen's contribution to European sculpture.
