The subject became popular in art from the late [[Middle Ages]] onwards. All three goddesses were usually shown nude, though in ancient art only Aphrodite is ever unclothed, and not always.<ref>Bull, pp. 346–47</ref> The opportunity for three female nudes was a large part of the attraction of the subject. It appeared in [[illuminated manuscript]]s and was popular in decorative art, including 15th-century Italian inkstands and other works in [[maiolica]], and ''[[cassone|cassoni]]''.<ref>Bull, p. 345</ref> As a subject for easel paintings, it was more common in Northern Europe, although [[Marcantonio Raimondi]]'s [[engraving]] of c. 1515, probably based on a drawing by [[Raphael]], and using a composition derived from a Roman [[sarcophagus]], was a highly influential treatment, which made Paris's [[Phrygian cap]] an attribute in most later versions.<ref>Bull, p. 346</ref>

The subject was painted many (supposedly 23) times by [[Lucas Cranach the Elder]], and was especially attractive to [[Northern Mannerist]] painters. [[Rubens]] painted [[The Judgement of Paris (Rubens)|several compositions]] of the subject at different points in his career. [[Watteau]] and [[Angelica Kauffman]] were among the artists who painted the subject in the 18th century. The Judgement of Paris was painted frequently by [[academic art]]ists of the 19th century, and less often by their more progressive contemporaries such as [[Renoir]] and [[Paul Cézanne|Cézanne]]. Later artists who have painted the subject include [[André Lhote]], [[Enrique Simonet]] (''[[El Juicio de Paris (Simonet)|El Juicio de Paris]]'' 1904), and [[Salvador Dalí]].

[[Ivo Saliger]] (1939), Adolf Ziegler (1939), and Joseph Thorak (1941) also used the classic myth to propagate German renewal during the Nazi period.<ref>{{cite web|title=Nazi Art|url=https://www.studyblue.com/notes/note/n/nazi-art/deck/21857456|publisher=StudyBlue Inc.|access-date=13 December 2019|archive-date=13 December 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191213183940/https://www.studyblue.com/notes/note/n/nazi-art/deck/21857456|url-status=dead}}</ref>
