The Judgement of Paris (Paul Cézanne)

"The Judgment of Paris" by Paul Cézanne is a modern interpretation of the classical myth where Paris, a prince, must choose the fairest among three goddesses—Hera, Athena, and Aphrodite. Cézanne's painting captures this pivotal moment with a focus on form, color, and composition, emphasizing the emotional and aesthetic tension of the scene. Instead of traditional allegorical figures, Cézanne uses geometric shapes and bold strokes, blending myth with his unique post-impressionist style. The artwork invites viewers to reconsider themes of beauty, choice, and the subjective nature of judgment through a contemporary lens.
