The Fall of Phaeton - A Mythological Masterpiece
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures the breathtaking frescoes in trompe l'oeil depicting "The Fall of Phaeton" by Carlone le Genois. The scene unfolds within the magnificent ceiling of the Cagnes party hall, nestled in an old medieval castle in Cagnes-sur-Mer, France. In this mythological tale, Zeus's anger is unleashed upon Phaeton, who dared to drive his celestial chariot across the heavens. As punishment for his audacity and reckless behavior, Zeus hurls a thunderbolt at Phaeton's chariot, causing it to plummet towards Earth. The intricate details and vibrant colors bring this ancient Greek myth to life. The winged horse Pegasus strains against its reins as chaos ensues amidst a backdrop of swirling clouds and lightning bolts. The dramatic composition evokes a sense of awe and wonder while showcasing Carlone le Genois's artistic prowess. This artwork not only showcases mythology but also reflects themes such as astrology, conduct, religion, and utopia prevalent during that era. It serves as a reminder of humanity's fascination with divine intervention and our constant search for meaning within the cosmos. Leonard de Selva skillfully captures every brushstroke with precision through his lens. This print allows art enthusiasts worldwide to appreciate this masterpiece from afar while immersing themselves in its rich symbolism and historical significance.
