Description
Louis-Simon BOIZOT (1743–1809), after The Judgement of Paris. A large terracotta group modelled on a piece produced by the Sèvres Porcelain Manufactory 19th-century. H: 47 – W: 32 – D: 24 cm. (minor chips) This ‘rotating’ group, inspired by Greek mythology, was created by Louis-Simon Boizot around 1780. It depicts the shepherd Paris, wearing a Phrygian cap, kneeling and presenting Venus with the Golden Apple, known as the Apple of Discord, Cupid standing, holding a dove and stroking a spaniel; behind them, Minerva in armour, wearing her helmet topped with an owl and carrying her shield bearing the head of Medusa; and Juno reclining in her chariot with a peacock. Some 18th-century versions of the group also feature festooned garlands of flowers on the concave base. Reproduced in Emile Bourgeois’s book, *Le Biscuit de Sèvres*, no. 371.
