Judgment of Paris by Lucas Cranach the Elder
Year: 1530
Medium: Oil on wood
Description: Germanic woods present (Durer's background). Dark green of the German forest makes nude bodies look projected. Paris is a shepherd; a divine vision appeared to him (3 nude women). He needed to choose one to be the prettiest which made the others jealous. The women look as though they are performing for his enjoyment. This style is German mannerism.
