El juicio de Paris

ca. 1528
Not on view
Nacido en una familia de artistas, Lucas Cranach fue un afamado pintor de cámara de los electores de Sajonia en Wittenberg. En esta escena, Paris está decidiendo quién es la más bella de las tres diosas: Minerva, Venus o Juno. Mercurio, en el centro, sostiene el codiciado premio, una manzana de oro (representada aquí por un orbe de cristal), mientras que desde el cielo Cupido apunta a Venus con su flecha. Este mito era un tema favorito de Cranach en su madurez, así como de sus aristocráticos mecenas. Un cuadro muy similar del mismo artista, ahora en la Öffentliche Kunstsammlungen de Basilea, está datado hacia 1528, al igual que este.
