EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the artwork "La chute de Phaeton (Phaethon)" from the renowned book "Les Metamorphoses" by Ovide, published in 1670. Created by an unknown artist of the 15th century, this piece is a part of a private collection and holds immense historical significance. The image depicts a pivotal moment in Greek mythology when Phaeton, son of Helios, attempts to drive his father's sun chariot but loses control. The engraving beautifully captures the intensity and chaos as Phaeton plummets towards Earth while fiery horses run amok across the sky. As one delves into this masterpiece, it becomes evident that it not only represents ancient mythology but also serves as a reflection on literature, paganism, utopia, religion, and spirituality. The intricate details and skillful execution highlight the artist's ability to convey complex themes through visual storytelling. Giancarlo Costa has expertly captured this enchanting artwork through his lens while preserving its timeless beauty. As we admire this photograph print today, we are reminded of the enduring power of art to transport us to different worlds and evoke deep emotions. With its rich history and profound symbolism, this image invites viewers to explore their own interpretations while appreciating both the artistic mastery behind it and its cultural significance throughout centuries.
