"The Three Sisters of Phaeton Weeping over the Tomb of Their Brother" is a painting by the Irish-born artist Francis Danby (1793–1861), known for his romantic landscape paintings and dramatic scenes. This work is inspired by the myth of Phaeton, the son of the sun god Helios in Greek mythology, who was killed by Zeus after losing control of his father's sun chariot. The painting depicts the aftermath of the tragic event, focusing on the grief experienced by Phaeton's sisters.

In the myth, Phaeton's sisters, the Heliades, were so consumed by their grief that the gods turned them into poplar trees, and their tears became amber as they wept by the banks of the river Eridanus, where Phaeton fell. Danby's interpretation of this scene is imbued with a sense of Romanticism, emphasizing the emotional turmoil and the sublime aspects of nature. The painting is characterized by its dramatic use of light and shadow, as well as its rich, somber color palette, which serves to enhance the melancholic mood of the subject.

Francis Danby was an influential member of the Bristol School of artists and was particularly noted for his skill in depicting light and atmospheric effects. "The Three Sisters of Phaeton Weeping over the Tomb of Their Brother" is a testament to his artistic vision and his ability to convey deep emotion through landscape and narrative painting. The work is significant for its artistic merit and for its representation of Romantic themes prevalent in the early 19th century, such as the power of nature, the experience of loss, and the influence of ancient mythology on contemporary art.

The painting is part of Danby's broader oeuvre, which includes other mythological and biblical scenes, as well as serene and picturesque landscapes. As an artist, Danby's contributions to the Romantic movement have been recognized for their emotional depth and technical prowess, and "The Three Sisters of Phaeton Weeping over the Tomb of Their Brother" remains an important piece within his body of work, reflecting the enduring human fascination with myth and the expression of profound grief through art.
