The Golden Apple is a notable painting by the American artist Bryson Burroughs, created in 1909. Burroughs, who was both a painter and a curator at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, is recognized for his contributions to American art in the early 20th century, particularly through his works that often draw on classical mythology and allegory. The Golden Apple exemplifies this thematic focus, as it depicts the mythological story of the Judgment of Paris, a pivotal event leading to the Trojan War.

In this painting, Burroughs captures the moment when Paris, a prince of Troy, is tasked with awarding a golden apple to the fairest of three goddesses: Hera, Athena, and Aphrodite. Each goddess attempts to bribe Paris with promises of power, wisdom, and love, respectively. Burroughs' interpretation of this mythological scene is marked by his distinctive style, which blends classical composition with a modern sensibility, reflecting the broader trends in American art during this period.

The Golden Apple is characterized by its balanced composition, harmonious color palette, and the idealized forms of the figures, which are reminiscent of classical sculpture. Burroughs' attention to detail and his ability to convey the narrative through expressive gestures and facial expressions are evident in this work. The painting not only showcases Burroughs' technical skill but also his deep engagement with classical themes and his ability to reinterpret them for a contemporary audience.

As a curator, Burroughs played a significant role in shaping the collection and exhibitions at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and his own artistic works, such as The Golden Apple, reflect his scholarly interest in art history and mythology. This painting remains an important example of early 20th-century American art and continues to be appreciated for its aesthetic qualities and its rich mythological content.
