"King Midas Before Bacchus" is a 17th-century oil painting by Italian artist Giulio Carpioni, who was active during the Baroque period and known for his mythological and religious scenes. The painting depicts the moment from Greek mythology when King Midas is presented before Bacchus, the god of wine, to receive a boon for having helped one of Bacchus's followers. Carpioni's work captures the pivotal scene in which Midas famously requests the power to turn everything he touches into gold, a wish that would ultimately lead to his own tragedy.

In the painting, Carpioni illustrates the opulence and drama characteristic of the Baroque style. The figures are rendered with dynamic gestures and expressions, emphasizing the emotional intensity of the narrative. The use of chiaroscuro, a technique that plays with strong contrasts between light and dark, adds to the dramatic effect and highlights the figures within the composition.

Giulio Carpioni was born in Venice and was influenced by the Venetian masters of his time. His works are known for their elegance and vibrant color palette, which can be seen in "King Midas Before Bacchus." The painting is a testament to Carpioni's skill in storytelling through art and his ability to convey complex narratives with visual splendor.

"King Midas Before Bacchus" is considered an important work within Carpioni's oeuvre, reflecting both his artistic talents and the cultural fascination with classical mythology during the Baroque period. The painting not only showcases Carpioni's mastery of the Baroque aesthetic but also serves as a cultural artifact that provides insight into the themes and values of 17th-century Italy.
