EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts the allegorical illustration of Phaethon, son of Helios and the Oceanid Clymene, experiencing a tragic fall from the sky while driving the Sun Chariot. Created by Samuel Cooper in 1812, this copperplate engraving showcases an iconic moment from Greek mythology known as "The Fall of Phaeton". In this scene, Phaethon's reckless ambition and desire to prove his divine lineage lead him to take control of his father's chariot. However, lacking the skill and strength necessary to guide such a powerful celestial vehicle, he loses control and plummets towards Earth. The image captures both the awe-inspiring beauty and imminent danger surrounding this mythological event. The horses that pull the Sun Chariot are depicted with great detail and energy, symbolizing their untamed power. Meanwhile, Phaethon is shown desperately clinging onto reigns as he descends towards his inevitable demise. This artwork serves as a cautionary tale about hubris and its consequences. It reminds us of the importance of humility in our pursuits and warns against overreaching our capabilities. Samuel Cooper's masterful execution brings this ancient story to life with stunning precision. Through intricate engravings and delicate shading techniques, he creates a sense of movement that draws viewers into this dramatic moment. Overall, this print offers not only an aesthetic delight but also invites contemplation on timeless themes such as ambition, responsibility, and mortality.
