Lot Essay

Popular in classical times, the story of the 'Judgment of Paris' enjoyed a great revival in the Renaissance and later, providing as it did a high-minded purpose for the painting of three female nudes. It was painted by European artists from Rubens to Renoir; 18th-century prints were taken to China where it became one of the most broadly painted subjects for export porcelain.
