"The Judgment of Paris" is a 16th-century engraving by Jean Mignon, depicting the Greek mythological tale of Paris, a Trojan prince, being asked to choose the most beautiful of three goddesses: Hera, Athena, and Aphrodite. Paris, guided by Cupid, awards the golden apple to Aphrodite. The engraving is noted for its detailed and elegant depiction of the figures and the surrounding landscape, and it is a beautiful example of the art of engraving during the Renaissance. The piece is currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
