About the piece
Created around 1631 by the influential French master Nicolas Poussin, this work captures the moment King Midas tests his new gift, turning an oak branch to gold. Set against a backdrop of rolling hills and dramatic foliage, the composition features the balanced, rational harmony and painterly depth characteristic of Poussin's Baroque style.
