"Phaeton Asking to Drive the Chariot of Apollo" is a renowned oil painting by the Italian master Giovanni Battista Tiepolo, created circa 1730s. This work of art is a visual representation of the mythological tale from Ovid's Metamorphoses, where Phaeton, the son of the sun god Apollo, requests to drive his father's sun chariot for a day. Tiepolo's depiction captures the pivotal moment of the narrative, showcasing his mastery of dramatic composition and his ability to convey complex emotional states.

The painting is imbued with the Rococo style, characterized by its lightness, grace, and use of playful themes, which was prevalent during the period in which Tiepolo was active. The artist's use of vibrant colors and dynamic figures illustrates the grandeur and the potential peril of Phaeton's request. Tiepolo's skillful handling of light and shadow not only highlights the figures but also enhances the overall theatricality of the scene.

Giovanni Battista Tiepolo, born in 1696 in Venice, was one of the most prominent painters of the 18th century.
