The Judgement of Paris is a 1527 by Unknown, a Renaissance work, held at Statens Museum for Kunst.
This painting shows five figures in a lush forest. On the left, a bearded man in ornate armor holds a golden cup, while a knight in full plate armor lies on the ground. Three nude women stand in the center, one holding a child. To the right, a sleek black horse stands tied to a tree. In the background, a distant city and mountains fade into a blue sky. The women and the knight look like they’re from ancient myths. The armor and the cup suggest this scene might be about a famous choice from long ago. If you like this mix of history and art, look up Renaissance.
