About the piece

Painted in 1909, Harald Giersing’s 'The Judgment of Paris' translates a classical mythological theme into a modern, expressionist language. The composition features strong, dark outlines and a vibrant yellow backdrop, highlighting the figures through vigorous brushwork and a sophisticated, limited palette that creates a powerful wall presence.
