The Fall of Phaeton

Artist: Giovanni Battista Tiepolo
Artwork: The Fall of Phaeton
Description: This is a pen and brown ink drawing over graphite on laid paper. It depicts the story of Phaeton, who was the son of Apollo and Clymene. Phaeton asked his father to let him drive the sun chariot for a day, but he lost control of the horses and nearly set the earth on fire. Zeus saved the earth by striking Phaeton with a thunderbolt, causing him to fall from the sky.
