Droom van Paris c. 1506 - 1538

"Droom van Paris" (c. 1506 - 1538) is a small woodcut by the German Renaissance artist Albrecht Altdorfer (c. 1480 - February 12, 1538). The artwork depicts a scene from the mythological tale of Paris's Judgement of the Three Goddesses, with a focus on the sensual details of the figures. The composition, typical of Altdorfer's style, features a detailed landscape background and a lively group of figures, all rendered in a characteristically expressive and detailed manner. The small size of the artwork suggests it was likely intended for personal contemplation rather than public display. The print demonstrates Altdorfer's mastery of the woodcut technique and his interest in exploring themes of beauty, desire, and mythology.
