''The Fall of Phaeton'' is a painting by the British artist George Stubbs, renowned for his works depicting horses. The painting, which dates from circa 1765, is an oil on canvas and illustrates the classical myth of Phaeton, the son of the sun god Helios, from Ovid's ''Metamorphoses''. In the myth, Phaeton seeks to prove his divine paternity by driving the chariot of the sun, but loses control, threatening to scorch the Earth. To save the world, Zeus strikes him down with a thunderbolt.

Stubbs's rendition of this dramatic scene is notable for its dynamic composition and the anatomical precision of the horses, which reflects his deep understanding of equine anatomy. This expertise was famously demonstrated in his book ''The Anatomy of the Horse'' (1766), which included detailed engravings and was highly influential in the development of equine art. ''The Fall of Phaeton'' showcases Stubbs's skill in capturing the power and movement of horses, as well as his ability to convey the drama and emotion of mythological subjects.

The painting is an example of Stubbs's broader work beyond his more familiar depictions of horses in pastoral or sporting scenes. It demonstrates his engagement with the grand tradition of history painting, which was considered the highest genre of painting by the academic art standards of the time. ''The Fall of Phaeton'' by George Stubbs is a significant work that combines the artist's technical prowess with his interest in narrative and classical themes, contributing to our understanding of 18th-century British art and the cultural milieu in which Stubbs worked.
