Painting Description
"The Judgement of Paris 2" is a notable work by the 19th-century British painter William Etty, renowned for his depictions of historical and mythological subjects, often imbued with a sensuousness that was both celebrated and controversial in his time. This painting, like its predecessor, draws upon the classical myth of the Judgement of Paris, a story from Greek mythology in which Paris, a Trojan prince, is tasked with deciding who among the goddesses Hera, Athena, and Aphrodite is the fairest. The choice is symbolically represented through the offering of a golden apple. Etty's rendition of this theme is particularly significant for its emphasis on the beauty and idealization of the human form, reflecting the artist's interest in classical ideals of beauty and his mastery in rendering the human figure.
Completed in the early 19th century, "The Judgement of Paris 2" showcases Etty's skill in composition, color, and the portrayal of flesh, elements that are characteristic of his work and contribute to the painting's visual impact. The work is emblematic of Etty's contributions to British art, particularly in the genre of history painting, where he sought to elevate the status of nude figures through historical and mythological narratives. Despite facing criticism for the perceived indecency of his subjects, Etty's paintings, including "The Judgement of Paris 2," played a crucial role in the acceptance of the nude as a subject in British art, paving the way for future generations of artists.
"The Judgement of Paris 2" not only exemplifies Etty's artistic achievements but also serves as a reflection of the cultural and aesthetic debates of the 19th century, making it a significant work for both its artistic merit and its contribution to the broader discourse on art and morality of its time.
