The Judgment of Paris | Walter Crane Postcard

The Judgment of Paris (1909) by Walter Crane portrays the famous mythological story in which Paris, a Trojan prince, is tasked with choosing the fairest goddess among Hera, Athena, and Aphrodite. Set against a lush, idyllic backdrop, Paris, depicted as a young and handsome figure, is seen holding a golden apple, with each goddess offering him a tempting gift in hopes of winning the prize. Crane's depiction captures the grandeur and elegance of the gods, with their flowing robes and intricate details, while the vibrant colours and classical setting lend a sense of ancient mythology brought to life. The artist masterfully uses composition and symbolism to evoke themes of beauty, desire, and the power of choice in this classical tale.
