The Judgment of Midas,
EDITORS COMMENTS
a captivating engraving by the renowned Dutch artist Hendrik Goltzius, dates back to the 1590s and offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of Greek mythology. This masterpiece, now housed at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), showcases the intricate interplay of mythological figures and the complexities of human desire. At the heart of the composition lies the legendary king Midas, who, as a result of his wish to turn everything he touched into gold, was cursed so that his food and even his daughter remained unchanged by his golden touch. In this image, Midas is depicted before Apollo, the sun god, and the deities Pan and Tmolus, who are presiding over his judgment. Midas is shown kneeling before them, his face expressing a mix of despair and hope, as he pleads for mercy. The female figures in the scene, including his wife and daughter, are depicted with a sense of sorrow and concern, their faces etched with worry and compassion. The contrast between the black and white tones adds a dramatic intensity to the image, highlighting the emotional depth and the intricacy of the engraving. This powerful work of art, created by the masterful hand of Hendrik Goltzius, offers a captivating exploration of the human condition, the consequences of desire, and the enduring power of mythology. It is a testament to the artist's skill and the enduring allure of Greek mythology, inviting viewers to contemplate the complexities of human nature and the power of the divine.
