"Apollo and Phaethon" (1635) is a notable work by the Italian Baroque painter Giovanni da San Giovanni, also known as Giovanni Mannozzi. This painting is a vivid representation of the mythological tale of Phaethon, the son of the sun god Apollo, who ambitiously attempts to drive his father's sun chariot across the sky. Giovanni da San Giovanni, renowned for his dynamic compositions and vibrant use of color, brings this dramatic narrative to life with his masterful brushwork and keen attention to detail.

In this work, Giovanni captures the pivotal moment of Phaethon's ill-fated journey, emphasizing the intense emotions and catastrophic consequences of his hubris. The composition is marked by its dramatic use of light and shadow, which not only highlights the central figures but also enhances the overall sense of movement and chaos. The artist's skillful rendering of the horses, the chariot, and the celestial backdrop reflects his deep understanding of both human anatomy and the natural world, a hallmark of Baroque artistry.

Giovanni's interpretation of the myth is both faithful to the classical source material and infused with his unique artistic vision. The painting serves as a moral allegory, warning against the dangers of overreaching ambition and the importance of recognizing one's limitations. This theme was particularly resonant in the context of the 17th century, a period marked by significant scientific discoveries and explorations that often challenged traditional boundaries.

"Apollo and Phaethon" is housed in the Palazzo Pitti in Florence, where it continues to be admired for its technical brilliance and its evocative portrayal of a timeless mythological story. Giovanni da San Giovanni's work remains an important example of Baroque painting, illustrating the era's fascination with dramatic narratives and its capacity to convey complex human emotions through art.
