1507
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Judgment of Paris is a 1507 ink by Hans Springinklee, a Renaissance work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This woodcut shows three women standing in a garden. One holds an apple, another leans on a tree, and the third stands with her back turned. Around them, smaller figures hide among bushes and rocks. The scene looks busy but calm, with sharp lines and no color. The women seem to be judging something—maybe the apple is the prize. The artist used a technique that makes the whole image look carved, not painted. Want to know more? Look up woodcut.
