About Phaeton

“**Phaeton**,” an artwork created by the artist Marc Chagall in 1977 in France, is an oil painting on canvas. Measuring 195 x 130 cm, this piece belongs to the Surrealism art movement with a mythological theme. Currently, this artwork is held in a private collection.

A central figure, presumably Phaeton from Greek mythology, is depicted riding an ethereal, winged horse amidst a tumultuous sky. The colors are intense and bold, with dominant reds, blues, and oranges that evoke a sense of otherworldliness. The background is animated with various human figures and abstract shapes, conveying a sense of chaos and movement. The style, characteristic of Chagall, merges dreams and reality, embodying the essence of Surrealism while drawing on mythological narratives.
