Costumes

The following are photographs of the final costumes for the forest scenes. Notice how the artist's costume is far more detailed and interesting than King Midas or his creatures. The creatures' costumes consist of a sheet draped over one shoulder. King Midas's costume is tied at both shoulders forming this dip at his chest. With far more material on his person shows his superiority and wealth. The crown he wears is a golden, glittering, branch that has been looped and tied to fit his head. This shows his connection with nature, but the gold shows his control of gold.
