Elegant pair of French paintings from the 18th century. Oil on canvas artworks of notable pictorial quality depicting two mythological scenes of great charm, Mercury gives Paris the golden apple and Hippomenes receives the three golden apples from Venus. In one scene we therefore find the messenger of the Gods intent on delivering the apple of discord to Paris. The young man was chosen by Zeus to decide who is the most beautiful between Venus, Juno and Athena and his judgment will fall on the goddess of love and thus trigger the Trojan War. In the other composition we find Venus giving three golden apples to Hippomenes. The beautiful Atalanta was a great hunter and she excelled in running. Forced by her father to get married, she agrees to give herself only to those who beat her in the race and to win her race Hippomenes asks Venus for help. The Goddess then gives him three golden apples, advising him to drop them one by one during the competition in order to slow down the girl. Paintings of great refinement, note the quality in the creation of the complexions and drapery as well as wonderful details such as the Cupid who looks at us, breaking the fourth wall. Antique non-coeval frames in carved and gilded wood, with some signs of aging. Paintings that have undergone restoration with relining, replacement of the frame and restoration of color in some small points. Overall in good state of conservation. Sight size H 37.5 x W 26 cm.
