"The Judgement of Midas" is a notable painting by the Flemish Baroque artist Abraham Janssens van Nuyssen, created in the early 17th century. This artwork is an interpretation of the mythological story from Ovid's Metamorphoses, where the Phrygian king Midas is asked to judge a musical contest between the god Apollo and the satyr Pan. Janssens, known for his strong Caravaggesque style, depicts the moment of judgment with dramatic lighting and intense expressions, characteristic of the Baroque period's emphasis on emotion and theatricality.

In the painting, Midas is typically shown with ass's ears, a punishment he received from Apollo after favoring Pan's rustic music over Apollo's refined playing. This subject was popular during the Baroque era as it symbolized themes of wisdom, discernment, and the consequences of poor judgment. Janssens' rendition of the scene is particularly noted for its dynamic composition and the contrast between the mortal king and the divine participants, reflecting the artist's skill in capturing human psychology and divine majesty.

Abraham Janssens was a contemporary of Peter Paul Rubens and an important figure in the Antwerp school of painting. His works are known for their dramatic use of light and shadow, as well as their detailed depiction of figures and fabrics. "The Judgement of Midas" is considered one of Janssens' masterpieces and contributes to our understanding of the cultural and artistic milieu of early 17th-century Flanders. The painting is an exemplary piece of Northern Baroque art and continues to be studied for its artistic and historical significance.
