"Creso Mostrando Sus Tesoros a Solon" (Croesus Showing His Treasures to Solon) is a notable oil painting by Flemish artist Frans Francken the Younger, created in the early 17th century. The painting depicts the legendary encounter between Croesus, the wealthy king of Lydia, and Solon, the wise Athenian lawmaker. According to the ancient account by Herodotus, Solon visited Croesus at his palace in Sardis, where the king displayed his vast wealth in an attempt to impress the philosopher. However, Solon famously admonished Croesus by stating that a man's wealth does not determine his happiness, and that one should only be deemed fortunate after a content and prosperous life has been completed at death.

Francken, known for his intricate and detailed compositions, often drew upon historical and mythological themes. In this work, he masterfully illustrates the grandeur of Croesus's court and the opulence of his treasures, while also capturing the philosophical exchange between the two figures. The painting serves as a visual meditation on the themes of wealth, wisdom, and the transient nature of human fortune.

The artwork is a fine example of the Northern Baroque tradition, showcasing Francken's skill in rendering luxurious details and his ability to convey complex moral narratives. "Creso Mostrando Sus Tesoros a Solon" is significant for its historical subject matter, as well as its reflection of the cultural and intellectual preoccupations of the early modern period. The painting is part of Francken's broader oeuvre, which contributed to the development of genre painting in the Flemish art tradition.
