The Judgment of Paris refers to any paintings of the Judgement of Paris produced by Peter Paul Rubens, but most notably the oil painting versions of 1636 and 1638. These both show Rubens' version of idealised feminine beauty, with the goddesses Venus, Minerva and Juno on one side and Paris accompanied by Mercury on the other. Painted in 1638 or 1639, this version is now in the Prado and is considered to be his final work, while he was ill with gout. It was commissioned by Philip IV of Spain's brother Cardinal-Infante Ferdinand of Austria and on Ferdinand's death moved to the Spanish royal collection. In 1788 Charles III of Spain decided it was immodest and ordered it to be burned, but he died before that order could be carried out.
