Title |
Dish with the Abduction of Helen |
|||||||||||||||||||||||
Description |
English: This complex scene shows the episode that triggered the Trojan War and ended with the destruction of Troy. The goddess Venus promised the Trojan prince Paris that he could marry Helen, the most beautiful of mortal women. Unfortunately, she was already married to the king of Sparta. Helen was worshiping at a temple devoted to Venus (in the background) on the island of Cytherea, when she was abducted by Paris and taken to his waiting ships. The fine ornaments with fantastic creatures and cameos along the rim show the painter's attempt to imitate the pictorial style of classical antiquity. |
