About Michelangelo and The Fall of Phaeton (Beatrizet Engraving) (1545)

Nicolas Beatrizet, a French engraver working in Rome, made this engraving around 1545 after Michelangelo's drawing of the Fall of Phaethon, the boy who lost control of his father Apollo's sun chariot. In 1532 Michelangelo met Tommaso de' Cavalieri, a young Roman nobleman, and gave him a series of highly finished drawings as gifts: mythological scenes such as the Rape of Ganymede, the Punishment of Tityus and the Fall of Phaethon, as well as ideal heads. Admired and copied at once, these presentation drawings spread across Europe through engravings. It is an engraving and measures about 42 x 29 cm. It is in the Cleveland Museum of Art.
