The subject
The painting depicting the Judgement of Paris is one of the most enigmatic and debated works in the Borghese collection. This celebrated episode from Greek mythology sees Paris, a Trojan prince, called upon to choose the most beautiful goddess among Hera, Athena and Aphrodite.
The scene portrays Paris in the act of handing the golden apple, the symbol of victory, to Aphrodite, captivated by her promise to grant him the love of the most beautiful woman in the world, Helen of Sparta. The distinctive attributes of the goddesses are clearly visible: Hera is accompanied by a peacock, Athena wears a helmet, and Aphrodite has two doves at her feet.
The work first appears in a 1633 inventory of the Borghese collection, where it is attributed to Francesco Crescenzi, a Roman aristocrat and pupil of Cristoforo Roncalli. Before this attribution, the painting had been associated with a variety of artists, including Domenichino, the Cavalier d'Arpino and Bartholomaeus Spranger.
