Paris

myminifactory

The masterful sculpture showcases the legendary Paris, a prince of Troy by birth and a devoted shepherd in his youth. In ancient Greek mythology, the three powerful goddesses - Athena, Hera, and Aphrodite - sought his opinion on which among them was the most breathtakingly beautiful. The prize at stake was a stunning golden apple inscribed with the phrase "To the fairest." Athena attempted to persuade Paris with her promise of wisdom, while Hera offered him power, but he ultimately chose Aphrodite's gift: a lifetime of love and marriage to the exquisite Helen. These 3D scans were meticulously crafted using an Artec Eva scanner, driven by a passion for creating an exceptionally accurate digital replica of the original. Although the presented scans are not exact duplicates due to inaccessible areas and unavoidable deviations from the original, they remain remarkably faithful representations.
