The Fall of Phaeton, 1615
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that captures the essence of danger and tragedy. Created by artist Leonard Gaultier, this engraving depicts a pivotal moment in Greek mythology when Phaeton, son of the sun god Apollo, loses control of his father's chariot and plummets towards Earth. The scene unfolds against a picturesque backdrop featuring a serene lake and an expansive sky. The horse-drawn chariot hurtles through the air as Phaeton desperately clings to its reins. In his panic-stricken state, he inadvertently endangers both himself and those below him. Gaultier's intricate detailing brings this ancient myth to life. Every stroke conveys the intensity of the situation - from the wild expressions on Phaeton's face to the flapping wings of birds startled by his descent. This print serves as a reminder of humanity's vulnerability in the face of divine power. It explores themes such as ambition, recklessness, and consequence while showcasing Gaultier's mastery in capturing emotion through art media. Now preserved in Jean Claude Carriere’s collection, "The Fall of Phaeton" continues to captivate viewers with its timeless depiction of an epic incident from Greek mythology. Its monochrome aesthetic adds depth to its narrative while allowing us to appreciate Gaultier's skillful craftsmanship even centuries later. Whether displayed for religious or artistic purposes, this print remains an enduring testament to human curiosity and our eternal fascination with ancient tales
