The Judgement of Paris, Rubens

This is a mythological scene, often depicted by the artist, although he only made two large and elaborate versions of it, of which this is the second.
Three years earlier, he had painted this other version of The Judgment of Paris, which is currently located in the National Gallery in London.
Paris is a Greek mythological character, Prince of Troy. In this passage, he is deciding on the beauty of the three maidens presented to him.
The realism and libertine appearance of the work clashed with the 18th-century mindset to the extent that its destruction was ordered as it was considered indecent in the court of Charles III of Spain, an order that was soon withdrawn after negotiations that left the work hidden from the public for years.
