"Judgment of Paris" (1635-37) Peter Paul Rubens

Paris (a.k.a. Alexandros), son of Priam, king of Troy, and his queen Hecabe, suffered a fate reminiscent of Oedipus' childhood. While pregnant with Paris, Hecabe dreams that she gives birth to a torch that burns down the city of Troy. So at his birth, Paris is, like Oedipus, handed over to servants to be killed, but in pity they expose him instead. He is discovered by shepherds who raise him as one of their own. He it is who is chosen to award the apple of contention—"for the most beautiful"—to one of the three goddesses who claim it. Each offers him a bribe: Hera offers him unshaken dominion over Asia and Europe, Athena offers him success in battle, and Aphrodite offers him the most beautiful woman in the world. The apple goes to Aphrodite.

In Rubens's depiction* Aphrodite shamelessly exhibits her charms, while Athena and Hera opt for partial covering.
