EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Phaethon asks his father if he could ride in his wagon" the renowned artists Hendrick Goltzius and Franco Estius bring to life a pivotal moment from Ovid's Metamorphoses. The scene depicts Phaethon, a young boy, kneeling before his divine father Apollo, also known as Sol or Helios, inside a grand palace. With an air of innocence and curiosity, Phaethon implores his father for permission to drive the sun chariot across the sky. The intricate details of the print showcase Apollo seated on a magnificent throne under a regal canopy while Phaethon gazes up at him with hopeful eyes. The composition beautifully captures the tension between paternal love and responsibility as Apollo contemplates how best to respond to his son's audacious request. Lines of text accompanying the image further enhance its narrative quality by recounting stories from Ovid's epic poem. Goltzius and Estius masterfully convey both spiritual and human elements within this artwork. It serves not only as an exploration of ancient mythology but also invites contemplation on themes such as ambition, paternity, and one's place in the world. Quint Lox's skillful reproduction ensures that viewers can appreciate every delicate stroke of Goltzius' penmanship alongside Estius' meticulous attention to detail. This extraordinary print is truly a testament to their artistic prowess and remains an enduring piece that captivates audiences with its timeless beauty
