Fall of Phaethon, Hendrick Goltzius (workshop of), 1728 Canvas Print

Phaëthon's ride in his father Apollo's sun chariot turns out to be a disastrous one. The horses have set the earth on fire. River beds run dry and river nymphs lament their fate. Neptune with trident rises from the sea and stretches his arm to heaven. Mother Earth, with city crown represented as Cybele, sticks her head out of the earth and shields her gaze with one hand. Atlas struggles to bear the vault of heaven. Jupiter throws thunderbolts and Phaethon falls from heaven with chariot and all. Below the performance two lines of verse in Latin. The print is part of an album.
