"The Judgement of Midas; and Apollo and Daphne" is a pair of paintings by the Italian Baroque artist Domenico Zampieri, commonly known as Domenichino. These works are significant examples of the artist's exploration of classical mythology and his ability to convey complex narratives through his art. Domenichino, born in 1581 in Bologna, was a prominent figure of the Bolognese School and a student of the famed Annibale Carracci. His work is characterized by its clarity, classical idealism, and harmonious compositions.

The first painting, "The Judgement of Midas," depicts 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 Marsyas. Midas infamously decides in favor of Marsyas, leading Apollo to punish him by giving him the ears of a donkey. Domenichino's interpretation of this scene is noted for its dramatic expression and the vivid portrayal of the characters' emotions.

The second painting, "Apollo and Daphne," also draws from Ovid's "Metamorphoses" and illustrates the moment when the nymph Daphne is transformed into a laurel tree to escape the amorous pursuit of Apollo. Domenichino's rendition captures the tension of the chase and the transformation, emphasizing the themes of desire and metamorphosis that are central to the myth.

Both paintings are exemplary of Domenichino's mastery in handling mythological subjects and his contribution to the Baroque movement. His works are celebrated for their narrative clarity and the balance between idealized beauty and emotional intensity. The exact dates of these paintings are not clearly documented, but they are believed to have been created during the artist's mature period, which was marked by significant commissions and growing recognition of his talents.

Today, "The Judgement of Midas; and Apollo and Daphne" by Domenichino are appreciated not only for their aesthetic qualities but also for their place within the broader context of Baroque art and the artist's oeuvre. They continue to be studied for their technical brilliance and the insight they provide into the cultural and artistic preoccupations of the early 17th century.
