• 100% Silk
• 100cm Tall x 130cm Wide
• Designed and Printed in Britain

Rubens depicts the ancient Greek myth of Phaeton at its climax, as thunderbolts are hurled by Zeus, illuminating the horror on the faces of Phaeton, the horses and other figures. The winged female figures represent the hours and seasons, who react in terror as night and day become disrupted. The assemblage of bodies forms a diagonal oval in the centre, perfectly separating the dark and light sides of the canvas.
