EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from the Liszt Collection, we witness a mythical scene of immense beauty and tragic consequence. The image depicts Phaethon, son of the sun god Helios, being buried by sorrowful nymphs while the Heliades, his sisters, undergo a remarkable transformation into trees. The composition is filled with ethereal hues that evoke a sense of enchantment and otherworldliness. As Phaethon lies lifeless on the ground, surrounded by delicate flowers and lush foliage, we can almost feel the weight of grief in the air. The nymphs tenderly lay him to rest as their mournful expressions reflect their profound loss. Meanwhile, amidst this somber tableau, an extraordinary metamorphosis takes place. The Heliades - Clymene's daughters who had been transformed into poplar trees after mourning their brother's untimely demise - stand tall in defiance of fate. Their slender branches reach towards the heavens like arms yearning for solace or perhaps seeking forgiveness for Phaethon's reckless attempt to drive his father's chariot across the sky. This mesmerizing print not only captures a moment frozen in time but also serves as a poignant reminder of hubris and its consequences. It invites us to contemplate themes such as mortality, sacrifice, and nature's enduring power over human destiny. Through its masterful execution and rich symbolism, this artwork transcends mere representation to become an evocative testament to ancient mythology’s timeless relevance in our lives today
