EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Judgement of Paris" a remarkable fresco from Pompeii that now resides in the prestigious National Archaeological Museum in Naples. The mural painting, dating back to the first century AD, offers a glimpse into the ancient Greco-Roman world and its rich mythology. In this scene, we witness Paris, a male figure dressed in exquisite ancient attire, engaged in an important decision-making moment. He stands amidst a backdrop of stunning Roman artistry and European ancient civilization. His gaze is fixed upon three beautiful female figures representing goddesses: Athena, Hera, and Aphrodite. Paris finds himself at the center of an epic mythological tale as he must determine which goddess is most deserving of the golden apple labeled "for the fairest". This fateful choice will ultimately lead to significant consequences for both mortals and gods alike. The artist masterfully captures every intricate detail of their clothing and fashion choices during this imperial period. The vibrant colors used on this fresco have been preserved remarkably well over time. Thanks to Brogi's expert photography skills between 1879-1910, we can now appreciate this extraordinary artwork with great clarity. This photograph not only serves as a testament to our fascination with history but also highlights how art has transcended time to become an invaluable piece of cultural heritage. As you admire this print from Alinari without commercial use intentions or affiliations mentioned here let yourself be transported back through centuries; immerse yourself in the beauty and wonderment that once captivated those who walked among these ancient ruins.
