Original Description
Paolo di Matteis's Judgement of Paris (1720-1725) is a masterful Baroque interpretation of the mythological tale where Paris awards the golden apple to Venus, sparking the Trojan War. The painting exudes dramatic tension through dynamic composition and luminous chiaroscuro—figures emerge from a dusky landscape, their flowing drapery and expressive gestures heightening the scene’s emotional intensity. Di Matteis, a follower of Luca Giordano, blends Neapolitan vitality with Rococo elegance, evident in the soft flesh tones and delicate rendering of fabrics. This work reflects 18th-century Europe’s fascination with classical mythology while showcasing the transition from Baroque grandeur to lighter, decorative styles. Though less renowned than Rubens’s or Watteau’s versions, it remains significant for its narrative clarity and technical finesse, embodying the era’s artistic dialogue between theatricality and refinement.
For display, this painting suits a formal living room or executive office, ideally hung as a focal point above a mantle or behind a desk. Its warm earth tones and gold accents pair beautifully with rich woods, velvet upholstery, or gilded frames, enhancing traditional or classic-contemporary interiors. Opt for a spacious wall to accommodate its likely large scale (Baroque works often exceed 1.5 meters), ensuring proper lighting—a directional spotlight or natural daylight will intensify its dramatic contrasts. Complementing hues like deep greens or burgundies in furnishings will echo the landscape and drapery tones, while minimalist decor keeps the focus on the artwork. Avoid overcrowding; let its narrative grandeur command the space, transforming any room into a sophisticated conversation piece.
