"The Judgement of Midas" is a notable work by Andrea Schiavone, an influential painter and etcher of the Venetian school during the Renaissance period. Born Andrea Meldolla in Zara (now Zadar, Croatia) around 1510/1515, Schiavone's work is characterized by its innovative use of color and light, as well as the dynamic composition of its figures, which often reflect the influence of both the Venetian school and Mannerism.

"The Judgement of Midas" draws its subject from Greek mythology, specifically a story from Ovid's "Metamorphoses." In this myth, Midas is asked to judge a musical contest between Apollo, the god of music and the lyre, and Pan, the god of the wild and the shepherd's flute. Midas controversially awards the victory to Pan, and as a punishment, Apollo transforms his ears into those of a donkey. Schiavone's depiction of this tale is notable for its expressive figures and the dynamic interplay between the characters, showcasing his skill in conveying narrative through visual art.

While the exact date of creation for "The Judgement of Midas" by Schiavone is not definitively known, it is generally believed to have been produced in the mid-16th century, a period marked by the artist's mature style. The painting is a testament to Schiavone's mastery of both theme and form, blending classical mythology with the artistic innovations of the Renaissance.

Schiavone's work, including "The Judgement of Midas," played a significant role in the development of Venetian painting, influencing contemporaries and later artists alike. His unique approach to composition, color, and light not only reflects the transition from the High Renaissance to Mannerism but also contributes to our understanding of 16th-century Venetian art. "The Judgement of Midas" remains an important work for scholars and enthusiasts of Renaissance art, offering insight into the cultural and artistic narratives of the period.
