"The Judgment of Paris" is a renowned oil painting by the Dutch Mannerist artist Joachim Wtewael (also spelled Uytewael), created in the early 17th century, around 1615. This work is one of the most celebrated interpretations of the classical mythological theme involving Paris, a prince of Troy, who was tasked with deciding which of the three goddesses – Hera, Athena, or Aphrodite – was the fairest. The painting is a quintessential example of Wtewael's intricate and highly detailed style, showcasing his skill in rendering the human figure and his penchant for complex, allegorical subjects.

In Wtewael's depiction, the three goddesses are presented nude, each vying for Paris's favor, while he deliberates his choice. The scene is set against a pastoral landscape, which is typical of the Northern Mannerist style, combining both naturalistic elements and a heightened sense of elegance and artifice. The goddesses are accompanied by their respective symbols and attendants, with the messenger god Hermes also present, overseeing the event.

The painting is notable for its fine brushwork, luminous color palette, and the smooth, enamel-like surface that Wtewael achieved through his mastery of oil painting techniques. The composition is carefully constructed to lead the viewer's eye through the narrative, with Paris's contemplative pose and the expectant gazes of the goddesses creating a dynamic interplay of looks and gestures.

"The Judgment of Paris" by Joachim Wtewael is held in high esteem not only for its artistic merit but also for its cultural significance, as it reflects the humanist interests of the period in classical antiquity and mythology. The work is part of the collection of the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., where it continues to be studied and admired for its contribution to the Dutch Golden Age of painting and its enduring influence on the visual arts.
