Kings and Queens of Myth and Legend

In 1976 Barks began a series of opulently rendered oil paintings portraying mythic monarchs.

»King Midas Having Fun«

(8-76)

»Old King Cole«

(1-77)

»King Neptune«

(2-77)

»King Beowulf«

(40-78)

A late follow-up to the series which was inspired by the current dragon hype.

»Queen of Sheba«

(8-96)

Barks never finished this painting. Probably he began it already in 1977.
