О скульптуре
Словами музея — на английском
This elliptic bronze plaquette is made by an unknown artist in 16th century in Italy.
It depicts to the right Phaeton falling headlong from his chariot to which three horses are still harnessed. To the left are two more horses, on one of which a man is seated. Below is a swan beside an overset urn of water.
Is a Greek mythology figure. One story tells that he is the son of Eos and Cephalus and the other that he is the son of Helios and Clymene In the second one he tried to drive his father's chariot through the sky and was hereby struck down by Zeus's thunderbolt to prevent a universal conflagration, which hurled him back into the river Eridanus.
Today he is a symbol representing those who aspire things beyond their reach or capabilities.
