EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate ceiling of the hall in the old medieval castle of Cagnes, located in Alpes-Maritimes, France. Transformed in 1620, this historical site is adorned with stunning frescoes in trompe-l'oeil style created by the renowned Genese painter Carlone. One particular masterpiece depicted on this ceiling is "The Fall of Phaeton" by Benso Giulio, a prominent artist from that era. "The Fall of Phaeton" tells a gripping tale from Greek mythology. Phaeton was a mortal who dared to drive his father Apollo's sun chariot across the sky but lost control and plummeted towards Earth. This dramatic scene captures the moment when lightning strikes Phaeton's chariot as he desperately clings onto its reins while winged horses soar through the heavens. The artwork not only portrays an enthralling mythological narrative but also reflects various themes such as punishment, astrology, and religious beliefs prevalent during ancient Greece. The attention to detail and skillful execution by Carlone truly bring these elements to life. As we gaze upon this remarkable photograph captured by Leonard de Selva, we are transported back in time to experience both the grandeur of medieval architecture and the rich cultural heritage preserved within its walls. It serves as a testament to human creativity and our enduring fascination with mythology throughout history.
