About the Item

This rendering of The Judgement of Paris hails from the imagination of Austrian artist Rudolf Rossler. This scene is how he visualized the encounter between Paris, Prince of Troy, and the three goddesses-- Athena, Aphrodite, and Hera-- happened. The the oil-on-canvas scene is graciously embedded within an absolutely stunning, hand-carved, gilded frame. The frame was crafted with amazing intricacy and patience. It alone came from the hands a true artist. It is recounted that Zeus held feast to which Eris, the goddess of discord, was not invited to. Infuriated by her exclusion, Eris made an appearance at the banquet anyway. Once there, she hurled an apple at the middle of the table. The apple read “to the fairest one”. Her mind games were effective in that Aphrodite, Hera, and Athena all leapt forward, reaching for the apple, each believing she was fairer than the next. In disagreement, the three goddesses asked Zeus to decide once and for all who was the fairest. Zeus was reluctant to decide and summoned Paris, Prince of Troy and a mortal, to decide who was the most beautiful out of the three. Thus, came to be the Judgment of Paris. The tale of manipulation and deceit goes on to explain how this event caused to the Trojan War, and eventually, Troy’s downfall. About the artist: The work of Rudolf Rossler is delightfully reminiscent of old romantic days of delicate figures and dimples cherubs. Born in 1864 in Gablonz, Bohemia, he became a celebrated painter of the Austrian school and specialized in allegorical subjects. The artist made his mark as an outstanding draftsman and a superb, yet subtle, colorist. Rossler was a student under Professor’s Hauser and Berger at the Art Academy in Vienna. Both of these instructors were academic artists who specialized in portraits and genre scenes. Becoming popular and successful quite early in his career, he was also an instructor at the Viennese School for Arts and Crafts between 1887 and 1893. Despite the sentimental appeal and beauty of his grown figures, it was the little one’s that this artist included in many of his works that drew attention. Beginning as a student in Vienna he painted babies; not out of any interest or fondness initially, but only because of their soft beauty. Many of the studies of babies that he painted he used in his big pictures as cupids, and so it was that every cupid in every picture is more or less of a portrait. This did away with much of the stiffness and conventionality in his pictures and greatly enhanced their charm. From these early studies he also created cupids for many kinds of card’s and menus as a means to support himself. Making little attempt to broaden this field of work, Rossler thus became known as a painter of cherubs.
