The mythological scene The Judgment of Paris. Author: Unknown artist. Duplicated.The size of the canvas is 65x77 cm. The Judgment of Paris is a mythological scene. The goddess of discord Eris, offended by the fact that she was not invited to the wedding feast of Peleus and Thetis, decided to take revenge on the gods and threw an apple with the inscription Most Beautiful to the feasting. Immediately between the three goddesses: the wife of Zeus Hera, the warrior Athena and the goddess of love Aphrodite - a dispute arose: to whom rightly belongs the apple? The goddesses turned to Zeus, but he refused to be a judge. Zeus gave the apple to Hermes and ordered to take the goddesses in the vicinity of Troy to the beautiful son of the king of Troy, Paris, who must choose the most beautiful of the three goddesses. Each of them began to convince Paris to give the apple to her, promising the young man great rewards. Hera promised Paris power over all Asia, Athena - military victories and glory. Paris gave the apple to Aphrodite, who promised to reward him with the love of any woman he chose.

A magnificent neo-Renaissance Bacchus dish inlaid with ivory on wood in the manner of Johann Michael Maucher (1645-1701)

A magnificent Bacchus dish in the neo-Renaissance style, inlaid with ivory on wood in the manner of Johann Michael Maucher (1645-1701) A decorative Bacchus dish made in the manner of works of the second half of the 17th century by the great German master Johann Michael Maucher (1645-1701). A complete and striking ensemble, carved ivory, immersing you in the mysterious worlds of the Renaissance era. Dedicated to mythological plots of love affairs of the gods, the huntress Diana and Dionysian drunkenness. The main theme of drunken festivities, presented in the central medallion, compositionally unites eight oval cartouches on the periphery of the dish and creates a unique aura of ancient freedoms and temptations. The central bas-relief shows Dionysus drinking from a cup in the company of companions and the attribute of drunkenness, a goat, against a background of forest and vines. Above it, clockwise, are the scenes: - competitions between Marsyas and Apollo with their musical judge, the Phrygian king Midas. - Zeus in the form of Diana seduces the nymph Callisto. - Zeus’ rescue of Callisto from her son, the young hunter Arkad, and the placement of the nymph in the sky by the constellation Ursa. - incriminating Kalisto in pregnancy. After all, the goddess Diana severely punished Callisto for the loss of chastity - turning her into a bear. - The abduction of Proserpina by King Hades in a chariot. - Satyr and nymph. Satyrs Harassment. - Actaeon and Diana. A young voyeur was turned into a deer for spying on the goddesss toilet. - The abduction of the nymph Io by Zeus. Why did the Thunderer hide himself with clouds. The ritual of wine veneration and love longing unite the program of the monument. They make you think about: kidnapping and punishment, ecstasy on the verge of suffering, freedom and the will of lot - in a word, about what elevates us above everyday life and immerses us in history. The decorative unity of carved plastic and the soft glow of bone achieves delightful harmony in the work. It deserves a place in the museums exhibition and definitely bears the reputation of an impeccable gift. Carved ivory on a wooden base with brass fastening hoops, deer antler. Probably 19th century Germany. Diameter: 46.5 cm. Weight: 2700 g. Reference: A similar dish made by the master Johann Michael Maucher, Pool with the Triumph of Galatea and sea images, 1672, ivory, antler and metal, presented in the Museo Civico Medievale in Bologna.
