EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning powder flask from the late 16th century. Crafted by the Italian School, this exquisite piece measures 19.4x12.7 cm and is currently housed in the Cleveland Museum of Art in Ohio, USA. The powder flask is made of gilt brass over fabric-covered wood, creating an intricate and ornate design. However, what truly sets this flask apart is its depiction of the Judgement of Paris, a legendary tale from ancient Greek mythology. According to the myth, Paris was tasked with deciding which goddess was the most beautiful: Hera, Athena, or Aphrodite. In this artwork adorning the flask's surface, we witness Paris holding a golden apple as he contemplates his decision. The level of detail and craftsmanship on display here is remarkable. The relief figures are meticulously crafted in metalwork and beautifully decorate this functional object with their mythological presence. This powder flask not only serves as a testament to exceptional artistry but also offers us insight into ancient legends that continue to captivate our imaginations today. It stands as both a decorative masterpiece and an intriguing artifact from another time - one that sparks curiosity about history and mythology alike.
