Judgment of Paris c. 15th century

The "Judgment of Paris" is a bronze plaquette cast by the Master IO.F.F. circa the 15th century. The plaquette depicts the mythological scene in which the Trojan prince Paris is asked to choose the most beautiful of the goddesses Hera, Athena, and Aphrodite, who are represented standing and nude. It showcases the artist's skill in depicting the human form and creating a sense of depth and realism in a small format. Plaquettes like this were often collected by wealthy patrons of the arts in Renaissance Italy.
