The Courtship of Paris and Helen

This famous art history painting was by Jacques-Louis David.



If you remember, I had sculpted the main elements many years ago but then had left the project aside in one of my earliest blogs.



Recently, I managed to locate the two figures, the bed and the four statues in the background. My foray into box dioramas has been largely based on flat figures. However, I decided that it was about time to do a small diorama in 3-D.

I built a simple box with sufficient depth based on a suitable sized Ikea picture frame. Then I created an interior with forced perspectives to accomodate the main elements of this piece.
