Midas with Apollo and Pan is a 1676 ink by Jean Lepautre, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This etching depicts a scene with three figures in a landscape. On the left, a man with a beard and horns sits on a rock, holding a staff. In the center, a woman stands, and to her right, a man wearing a cloak and a hat with horns gestures towards her. The figures are surrounded by trees and bushes, with a mountain range visible in the background. The overall atmosphere of the scene is one of drama and tension. The use of etching and engraving techniques creates a sense of depth and texture, drawing the viewer's eye to the central figures. To learn more about this style, explore the Baroque movement.
