“Judgement of Paris” is an artwork created by Mark Tansey in 1982. The piece falls under the genres of Contemporary Realism and Surrealism, and it is classified as figurative.
The artwork depicts a scene resembling an obstacle course, with three figures struggling to scale a wooden wall while a lone female figure stands observing them in the foreground. The figures appear to be in mid-climb, each in different positions, creating a sense of struggle and movement. The background consists of a natural landscape, possibly a field or park, with a line of trees and a clear sky, rendered in muted tones that give the piece a somewhat somber and contemplative atmosphere. The overall composition invites interpretations related to perseverance, observation, and judgement, aligning with the title’s classical reference.
