"King Midas and his Daughter" is a notable illustration by Charles Edmund Brock, a distinguished British artist and illustrator renowned for his work during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Brock, born in 1870, was part of a family of artists and became celebrated for his contributions to book illustration, particularly his interpretations of classic literature. His artistic style is characterized by its meticulous attention to detail, expressive characterizations, and a keen ability to capture the essence of the narrative.

The illustration "King Midas and his Daughter" is inspired by the ancient Greek myth of King Midas, a tale that has been retold and adapted numerous times throughout history. The myth centers on King Midas, a figure who is granted the ability to turn everything he touches into gold, a gift that quickly becomes a curse. In the story, Midas's greed leads to tragic consequences when he inadvertently transforms his beloved daughter into a lifeless golden statue.

Brock's depiction of this poignant moment is both evocative and emotionally charged, capturing the despair and regret of Midas as he realizes the grave consequences of his wish. The illustration is notable for its use of composition, light, and shadow to convey the dramatic tension of the scene. Brock's ability to infuse his characters with a sense of realism and depth adds a layer of poignancy to the myth, making it resonate with contemporary audiences.

"King Midas and his Daughter" exemplifies Brock's skill in bringing literary and mythological subjects to life through his art. His work continues to be appreciated for its artistic merit and its ability to convey complex emotions and narratives through visual means. This illustration remains a significant piece in the study of both Charles Edmund Brock's oeuvre and the broader tradition of mythological illustration.
