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, showcasing Phaethon's ill-fated attempt to drive his father Apollo's sun chariot across the sky. With intricate detail and vibrant colors, Carlone brings this ancient tale to life. The winged horse Pegasus soars above as lightning bolts strike down on Phaethon's chariot, symbolizing divine punishment for his audacity. The painting not only showcases Carlone's artistic skill but also provides insight into ancient beliefs and astrology. It reflects elements of paganism and highlights the connection between humans and celestial beings. Through its optical effects and realistic portrayal of horses and other animals, this trompe l'oeil fresco transports viewers to a world where mythological characters coexist with everyday life. Its placement on the castle ceiling adds a touch of grandeur and utopia to the space. As you gaze upon this remarkable print by Leonard de Selva, let yourself be immersed in the rich history and symbolism that intertwines art with mythology, religion, meteorology, and antique Greece.
