Original Description
Philip Richard Morris’s The Choice of Paris (1885) is a mesmerizing Pre-Raphaelite-inspired masterpiece that reimagines the mythological judgment of Paris with delicate romanticism and luminous detail. Bathed in soft, golden light, the scene depicts Paris seated beside three goddesses—Hera, Athena, and Aphrodite—their flowing drapery and porcelain skin radiating ethereal beauty. Morris’s meticulous brushwork and rich symbolism—opulent fabrics, lush foliage, and Paris’s contemplative gaze—evoke a dreamlike idyll, balancing Renaissance compositional harmony with Victorian whimsy. Though less renowned than his contemporaries like Rossetti or Waterhouse, Morris’s work epitomizes late 19th-century British academic painting, blending classical themes with the Pre-Raphaelite reverence for nature and emotional depth. The painting’s quiet drama and luminous palette make it a subtle yet arresting piece in art history, reflecting the era’s fascination with myth and beauty.
For a space that echoes The Choice of Paris’s timeless elegance, hang it in a study or formal living room where its intricate details can shine. Choose a gilded or dark wood frame to complement Morris’s warm ochres and deep greens, and position it on a neutral-toned wall—soft beige or sage—to avoid competing with its rich hues. Given its likely medium-to-large size (assuming a near-life-scale depiction), ensure ample spacing: above a mantel or as a focal point opposite a seating area works beautifully. Pair it with velvety textures—burgundy or emerald upholstery—and brass accents to mirror its gilded glow. In a minimalist office, the painting’s narrative depth adds sophistication without clutter; balance it with clean-lined furniture and warm lighting to echo its radiant atmosphere. A curated blend of classic and refined modern pieces will let Morris’s romantic vision take center stage.
