Description

Panel-relief
The Dream of Paris; The Judgement of Paris
Probably Master I. P.
Salzburg, Passau or Regensburg Bavaria
ca. 1530

The rich forest landscape is related to the contemporary painting of the Danube school. The composition is so arranged that the female nude is seen from three positions. Such a relief would have been produced as a virtuoso example of wood carving and included along with medals and other small sculpture in a 'Kunstkammer' or 'cabinet of curiosities'. The monogram AD is a later addition.

The relief shows the reclining armed figure of Paris near a well, his horse tethered to a tree in the background. Mercury, also clad in armour, stands next to him. He holds an Apple of Discord in his right hand and seems to address the semi-nude goddess Juno, Minerva and Venus. Venus with flowing hair stands frontally next to Paris, while Juno, depicted from the back, holds a goblet in her left hand. She wears a Venetian hairnet-cap, a chain of pearls around her neck, and a larger chain around her shoulders. Minerva is depicted from the side holding a standard. Cupid, aiming a burning arrow at Paris, emerges from a formation of clouds in the sky above. The scene is set on a rocky ground with lush foliage and a lizard in the foreground, in an open place surrounded by trees with long drooping foliage. In the background is a mountainous landscape with a castle on top of a hill and a deep river valley.

The piece is composed of three sections of wood joined vertically.
Two cracks run down from the top. The fingers of the Juno's right hand, and the thumb and the finger of Paris's right hand a re missing.
