Painting Description
"The Judgement of Paris (Bartsch 245)" is an iconic engraving created by Italian master Marcantonio Raimondi in the early 16th century. This work showcasesaimondi's extraordinary skill in engraving and intricate detail, as well as his renowned expertise in conveying narrative through images.
The piece is titled after the legendary Greek mythology tale, 'The Judgment of Paris,' in which the young Prince Paris of Troy was asked to decide which of the three beautiful goddesses; Hera, Athena, or Aphrodite, was the fairest. Each goddess attempted to sway his decision with gifts and promises of power, wisdom, and love, respectively.
Raimondi's portrayal of this legendary contest unfolds dramatically, displaying not just the presence and demeanor of each goddess but hinting at their divine personalities. His depiction of the divine figures is imbued with an air of ethereal beauty that was characteristic of the High Renaissance period.
Raimondi's prints were known to be humanistic and visually delightful. He focused on sculptural lines, fluid forms, and his depiction of the human figure was marked by an idealistic interpretation of beauty, all of which are illustrated in "The Judgement of Paris".
Important to note is that this piece is catalogued as 'Bartsch 245' - a reference stemming from Adam von Bartsch, an early 19th-century Austrian scholar who comprehensively catalogued a large portion of old master prints, including works by Raimondi, creating a system still in use today by art historians and institutions.
Despite the lack of concrete documentation about the exact creation date, Raimondi's engraving is believed to have been done in the first third of the 16th century, during the height of Raimondi’s career, when he was actively collaborating with Raphael, whose influences can be seen in the piece. However, unlike many of his engravings, "The Judgement of Paris" design does not link directly to any known designs by Raphael.
Overall, Raimondi's 'The Judgement of Paris (Bartsch 245)' is not just a representation of a cherished myth, but a significant contribution to the evolution of printmaking and narrative visual art in the history of European art.
