EDITORS COMMENTS
King Midas, the legendary king of ancient Phrygia, was renowned for his insatiable desire for gold. According to Greek mythology, the god Dionysus granted him the power to turn all that he touched into gold. At first, Midas rejoiced in his newfound ability, but soon he realized the curse that came with it. When he held his beloved daughter in his arms, she too was transformed into gold. In this image from Mary Evans Prints Online, King Midas is depicted in the midst of his despair, his crown askew and his face etched with sorrow as he gazes upon his golden daughter. The classical and historical scene is filled with intricate details, from the folds of Midas' royal robes to the delicate patterns adorning the princess's dress. The golden hue of the image adds to the mythical and otherworldly atmosphere, emphasizing the tragic nature of Midas' fate. The story of King Midas is a timeless tale of greed and the consequences that come with it. It serves as a reminder that material wealth and possessions are not the keys to happiness and that the things that truly matter in life are often intangible. This evocative print, with its rich history and intricate details, is a beautiful and thought-provoking addition to any collection, inspiring reflection and imagination.
