"Midas and Bacchus" is a painting by the French Baroque artist Nicolas Poussin, created around 1629-1630. Poussin, known for his classical approach and mastery of composition, often drew inspiration from mythology and ancient history. This painting depicts a scene from Ovid's "Metamorphoses," where King Midas is granted the power to turn everything he touches into gold by the god Bacchus (also known as Dionysus in Greek mythology).

In the artwork, Poussin captures the moment when Midas, having realized the curse of his newfound power, approaches Bacchus to plead for its removal. The composition is carefully structured, with Bacchus seated regally, surrounded by his entourage of satyrs and followers, emphasizing his divine status. Midas is portrayed in a humble posture, illustrating his desperation and regret.

Poussin's use of color and light enhances the narrative, with warm tones highlighting Bacchus and cooler shades enveloping Midas, symbolizing the contrast between divine power and human folly. The painting reflects Poussin's interest in conveying moral and philosophical themes through art, a hallmark of his work.

The painting is notable for its detailed depiction of classical figures and its balanced composition, showcasing Poussin's skill in integrating complex narratives within a harmonious visual framework. "Midas and Bacchus" exemplifies Poussin's dedication to the principles of classical art, emphasizing clarity, order, and emotional restraint.

Currently, the painting is housed in the Gemäldegalerie, Berlin, where it continues to be admired for its artistic and historical significance. Poussin's work remains influential, offering insight into the Baroque period's engagement with classical antiquity and its enduring themes of human experience.
