"King Midas Judging The Musical Contest Between Apollo And Pan" is a 17th-century oil painting by Italian Baroque artist Filippo Lauri. The artwork depicts the mythological story of a musical contest between the god Apollo and the satyr Pan, as narrated in Ovid's "Metamorphoses." According to the myth, the contest was judged by King Midas, who foolishly favored Pan over the more skilled musician Apollo. In retaliation for this poor judgment, Apollo transformed Midas's ears into those of a donkey.

Filippo Lauri (1623–1694), a prominent painter of the Roman Baroque period, was known for his small-scale, highly detailed works that often featured mythological and pastoral scenes. This painting is characteristic of Lauri's style, with its elegant figures, rich colors, and dynamic composition that captures the dramatic moment of the contest.

The painting serves as an allegory of discernment in the arts, emphasizing the importance of true expertise and the consequences of misguided judgment. Lauri's work not only illustrates a classic narrative but also reflects the cultural values of the Baroque era, where music and art were held in high esteem and patrons and connoisseurs prided themselves on their taste and knowledge.

"King Midas Judging The Musical Contest Between Apollo And Pan" is a significant example of Lauri's oeuvre and contributes to the understanding of Baroque artistic themes and the era's interpretation of classical mythology. The painting is appreciated for its historical and cultural relevance, as well as its aesthetic qualities and the skillful execution by the artist.
