Judgement of Paris

Rubens is my favorite painter of all time.

And this picture - The Judgement of Paris - is one of his greatest.

But forget all talk of composition, shape, form, blah blah - and any other pompous conoisseur catalogue stuff. 

For from the chasms of the Internet, by an artist of no known name, comes a perfectly executed version of the story that may express far more accurately what was really going on when Hermes brought the son of Priam beautiful goddesses to judge.
