To reverse what had become a curse, the god Bacchus instructed Midas to wash in the Pactolus River. Poussin represents Midas here as the smaller, humbled figure behind a classical representation of a reclining river god and two putti whose jugs point to the river’s source and to Bacchus as the god of wine. Abounding with Poussin’s classical erudition, this painting was among the first he completed after arriving in Rome and was among the first works of art to enter The Met in 1871.\" - (\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.metmuseum.org\/art\/collection\/search\/437328\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"The Metropolitan Museum of Art New York - Midas Washing at the Source of the Pactolus\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eThe Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York\u003c\/a\u003e)\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nicolas Poussin","offers":[{"title":"No Size Selected (Select a Size)","offer_id":49887996346611,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Replica Size (38 3\/8\" x 28 5\/8\")","offer_id":49887996379379,"sku":null,"price":1812.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Signature Size (20 3\/4\" x 15 1\/2\")","offer_id":49887996412147,"sku":null,"price":695.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Classic Size (25 3\/8\" x 18 7\/8\")","offer_id":49887996444915,"sku":null,"price":895.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gallery Size (31 1\/8\" x 23 1\/4\")","offer_id":49887996477683,"sku":null,"price":1295.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Statement Size (40 1\/8\" x 29 7\/8\")","offer_id":49887996510451,"sku":null,"price":1995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Grand Size (48 1\/8\" x 36\")","offer_id":49887996543219,"sku":null,"price":2795.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Estate Size (56 3\/4\" x 42 1\/4\")","offer_id":49887996575987,"sku":null,"price":3695.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Museum Size (68 1\/8\" x 51\")","offer_id":49887996608755,"sku":null,"price":4995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0827\/5738\/6483\/files\/MidasWashingattheSourceofthePactolus.jpg?v=1785674552","url":"https:\/\/commissionedpaintings.com\/products\/midas-washing-at-the-source-of-the-pactolus","provider":"Commissioned Paintings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
