EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Phaeton struck down by Jupiter's thunderbolt" transports us back to the 17th century France. Created by Michel de Marolles as part of his Tableaux du Temple des Muses collection in 1655, this artwork captures a moment of divine intervention and punishment from Greek mythology. In this scene, we witness Phaeton, son of the sun god Helios, losing control of his father's chariot that carries the sun across the sky. As a consequence for his reckless actions, Jupiter (Zeus in Greek mythology) hurls a powerful thunderbolt at Phaeton, striking him down from the heavens. The engraving skillfully portrays Phaeton falling from grace with great intensity and drama. The monochrome aesthetic adds depth to this legendary tale while emphasizing its timeless quality. It reminds us of the enduring power and significance of mythological stories throughout history. As we contemplate this image, we are reminded of the consequences that can arise from hubris and disobedience towards higher powers. It serves as a cautionary reminder about our own limitations as mortals and encourages reflection on themes such as accountability and divine justice. This print is not only an exquisite piece of art but also a window into ancient beliefs and cultural heritage. Its presence in Jean Claude Carriere's collection showcases its value as both an artistic creation and historical artifact.
