EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the mesmerizing fresco "La chute de Phaeton (Phaethon)" by Giovanni Battista Carlone. Painted in 1625, this trompe l'oeil masterpiece adorns the ceiling of the hall in an old medieval castle dating back to 1320 in Cagnes-sur-Mer, France. The artwork depicts a scene from Greek mythology, where Phaeton, son of the sun god Helios, attempts to drive his father's chariot across the sky but loses control. The dramatic moment is frozen in time as Phaeton plummets towards Earth while being struck by lightning bolts. Carlone's skillful use of perspective and optical effects creates an illusion that transports viewers into this mythical realm. The winged horse pulling the chariot adds a sense of movement and power to the composition. As we gaze upon this ancient fresco, we are reminded of humanity's fascination with celestial bodies and our eternal quest for knowledge. It also serves as a cautionary tale about hubris and its consequences. The rich symbolism embedded within this painting invites contemplation on themes such as religion, astrology, paganism, and utopia. It speaks to our desire for connection with something greater than ourselves – be it divine forces or heavenly realms. Leonard de Selva's expert photography beautifully captures every intricate detail of Carlone's work. This print allows us to appreciate not only the artistry involved but also provides a glimpse into history through its preservation of an antique masterpiece found along Provence Riviera in Alpes-Maritimes region.
