Peter Paul Rubens' "The Judgement of Paris" depicts the mythological tale of the Trojan prince Paris who is tasked with choosing the most beautiful goddess. Hera, Athena, and Aphrodite stand before him, each offering a bribe for his favor. Paris, in the center, appears hesitant as the goddesses present their gifts. The scene is filled with details, including a peacock, a dog, and the other gods watching from the heavens. The painting is a fine example of Rubens' vibrant use of color and dramatic composition, characteristic of the Baroque style.
