EDITORS COMMENTS
In this color lithograph, we are transported to the mythical world of ancient Greece. The image depicts a pivotal moment from the legendary tale of King Midas, as envisioned by artist Frederick Richardson. King Midas, known for his insatiable desire for wealth and power, is shown here in a moment of reflection and redemption. Having realized the folly of his golden touch, he stands amidst lush rosebushes with a watering can in hand. With great care and remorse, he sprinkles the remaining drops of water over the delicate blooms. The scene beautifully captures both the restful ambiance and classical elegance associated with Greek mythology. Richardson's attention to detail brings out every intricate petal on the rosebushes while also highlighting King Midas' contemplative expression. This print was created as an illustration for Nathaniel Hawthorne's renowned book "A Wonder Book and Tanglewood Tales". It serves as a visual representation of one chapter within this collection that explores various mythological stories. Through this artwork, viewers are reminded not only of King Midas' tragic downfall but also his potential for growth and transformation. It invites us to reflect upon our own desires and their consequences while appreciating the timeless allure of ancient legends like those found in Greek mythology.
