"Urteil des Paris" (The Judgment of Paris) is a renowned painting by Lucas Cranach the Elder, a prominent German Renaissance artist. Cranach, known for his courtly and mythological scenes, created several versions of this theme, with the most famous one dating back to around 1528. The painting illustrates the classical myth of the Judgment of Paris, a pivotal event leading to the Trojan War.

In the myth, Paris, a prince of Troy, is tasked with deciding which of the three goddesses—Hera, Athena, or Aphrodite—is the fairest. Each goddess offers him a bribe: Hera promises power, Athena offers wisdom, and Aphrodite tempts him with the love of the most beautiful mortal woman, Helen of Sparta. Paris ultimately awards the golden apple to Aphrodite, setting the stage for the legendary conflict.

Cranach's depiction is notable for its elegant composition and the artist's distinctive style. The painting captures the moment of decision, with Paris seated and the three goddesses standing before him. Cranach's figures are characterized by their elongated forms and serene expressions, a hallmark of his work. The landscape in the background is lush and detailed, providing a rich setting for the mythological narrative.

Cranach's interpretation of the Judgment of Paris reflects the Renaissance fascination with classical mythology and humanist ideals. His work often includes symbolic elements, and this painting is no exception, with each goddess portrayed in a manner that reflects her divine attributes. The painting is also a testament to Cranach's skill in rendering texture and detail, from the intricate drapery of the goddesses' garments to the naturalistic depiction of the surrounding environment.

Today, "Urteil des Paris" is housed in various collections, with notable versions residing in museums such as the Staatliche Kunstsammlungen in Dresden. Cranach's work continues to be celebrated for its artistic merit and its insightful portrayal of timeless mythological themes.
