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.
