EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Judgment of Midas" a masterpiece from the first half of the 16th century. The artwork, part of a private collection, delves into the realms of fantasy and Roman mythology. In this scene, we witness King Midas being bestowed with an extraordinary gift by Pan, the god of fertility and music. The flutist's melodic tunes enchant both mortals and mythical creatures alike. A faun, representative of Greek mythology, listens intently to Pan's harmonious melody while surrounded by wood spirits and otherworldly beings. As King Midas sits in awe before them all, he is unaware that his judgment will soon be tested. This oil painting on wood beautifully captures not only the allegory found within ancient literature but also pays homage to Roman gods and place spirits. It portrays Faunus as the god of free nature; a patron revered by peasants and shepherds for his guidance. Created by Francesco Primaticcio (1504-1570), this artwork transports us into a fantastical world where myth intertwines with reality. Its intricate details invite viewers to explore every brushstroke meticulously applied by the artist. As you gaze upon this fine art image, let your imagination wander through Phrygia – King Midas' realm – as you immerse yourself in its rich history and timeless tales passed down through generations.
