"Mythological Gallery: Judgement of Paris" is a lithograph by French artist J.J. Grandville, created between 1824 and 1836. The artwork depicts a humorous take on the famous Greek myth of the Judgement of Paris, where Paris is forced to choose the most beautiful goddess out of Hera, Athena, and Aphrodite. Grandville's caricature style uses exaggerated features and poses to create a satirical commentary on society, particularly the pursuit of beauty and the superficiality of appearances. The artwork is housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
