Among the many stories of Greek mythology, few events changed the destiny of gods and mortals as profoundly as the moment known as The Judgement of Paris.

This elegant composition by the renowned Swedish sculptor Bengt Erland Fogelberg depicts Venus (Aphrodite) contemplating the famous Apple of Discord, the golden fruit inscribed with the words “To the Fairest”.

According to the myth, the goddess Eris threw the apple among the Olympian gods, sparking a rivalry between Hera, Athena and Aphrodite. The decision of the Trojan prince Paris would ultimately trigger the events that led to the legendary Trojan War, one of the most influential stories in Western civilization.

Fogelberg masterfully captures the quiet moment before destiny unfolds. Venus appears serene and contemplative, holding the apple that would alter the course of mythology itself. At her side stands Cupid, symbol of desire and divine influence, reinforcing the connection between beauty, love and fate.

The graceful drapery, harmonious proportions and refined neoclassical composition make this sculpture a remarkable representation of nineteenth-century Scandinavian sculpture inspired by the ideals of ancient Greece.

Perfect for collectors of mythology, neoclassical art, classical interiors, museums, libraries, studies and luxury decorative spaces.

Materials & Craftsmanship

This sculpture is made of high-density resin, filled with museum-grade and prosthetic-quality materials, the same type used in museums, cinema, theatre, and cultural institutions worldwide.

❌ We do NOT use:

• Plaster (too fragile)
• Mineral-based mixes like stone powder composites (which lose definition)
• Plastic or anything similar (which reduces both quality and weight)

✅ We specifically choose this resin for its:

• 💎 Durability
• 🧬 Precision
• 🖐️ Ability to capture every fine detail

Every sculpture is carefully prepared, inspected and hand-finished in our workshop to achieve a premium museum-quality appearance.

🏛️ This is the same professional-grade resin used in official tactile replicas for blind and visually impaired visitors in public exhibitions.

📌 We want every collector to be fully informed and confident about their choice.
