The Fall of Phaethon

Agnolo Bronzino or Giulio Clovio after Michelangelo

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a mythological scene with dynamic figures and horses in motion. The upper portion shows a figure falling or descending, possibly from a chariot drawn by rearing horses. Below are human-like figures, some gesturing dramatically. The drawing is detailed, focusing on anatomy and movement through lines and shading.
