Painting Description
"The Judgement of Paris" is an oil painting by the 19th-century British artist William Etty, first exhibited in 1826. The painting depicts the mythological story from Greek legend in which Paris, a Trojan prince, is tasked with deciding which of the three goddesses – Hera, Athena, or Aphrodite – is the fairest. The goddesses are presented nude, a characteristic choice of Etty, who was known for his focus on the female nude in historical and mythological paintings.
Etty's work is a reflection of his academic training and his aspiration to elevate the genre of nude painting to a respected status within the Royal Academy. "The Judgement of Paris" is a significant example of Etty's dedication to classical subjects, which he believed could provide moral lessons as well as aesthetic pleasure. The painting is notable for its rich color palette and the artist's skillful rendering of the human form, both of which are hallmarks of Etty's style.
Throughout his career, Etty faced both acclaim and criticism for his unabashed portrayal of the nude figure. "The Judgement of Paris" was no exception, with some contemporaries praising its beauty and execution, while others condemned it as indecent. Despite the controversy, Etty's work played a crucial role in the acceptance of the nude as a serious subject in British art.
The painting is part of Etty's larger body of work that contributed to the discourse on aesthetics, morality, and sensuality in the 19th century. It remains an important example of British Romantic painting and offers insight into the era's cultural and artistic tensions. "The Judgement of Paris" by William Etty continues to be studied and appreciated for its artistic merits and its place in the history of Western art.
