The Judgment of Paris

Albrecht Altdorfer

National Gallery of Art

This drawing depicts mythological figures in a natural setting. The central part of the image shows several figures gathered in an outdoor environment. The setting is lush with vegetation, dominated by a large tree in the background. The drawing is detailed and cross-hatched, creating depth and texture. The arrangement of the figures and their gestures suggest a narrative or allegory. The figures are depicted with a strong emphasis on form and pose, similar to the style of the Renaissance period.
