EDITORS COMMENTS
The print of "Midas at the source of the River Pactolus" captures a moment of profound transformation. Painted by Nicolas Poussin, this oil on canvas masterpiece depicts King Midas of Phrygia reclining near the river's edge. With his crown resting beside him, Midas leans forward, observing intently as he washes away his power to turn everything he touches into gold. In this scene, Poussin skillfully portrays the weight that comes with immense wealth and its consequences. The landscape surrounding Midas is serene and peaceful, contrasting with the turmoil within his soul. As he peers into the flowing water, one can almost feel his longing for release from this golden curse. The monochromatic tones in this photograph add a timeless quality to Poussin's artwork. Stripped of color distractions, we are drawn even closer to Midas' contemplative state and internal struggle. It serves as a reminder that material possessions do not bring true happiness or fulfillment. Displayed in Musee Fesch in Ajaccio, Corsica, France, this image invites us to reflect on our own desires for wealth and power while urging us to consider their potential consequences. Through Poussin's masterful brushstrokes captured in photography, "Midas at the source of the River Pactolus" continues to captivate viewers centuries after its creation – an enduring testament to art's ability to provoke introspection and contemplation about life's
