"Chariot of the Sun" is a painting by the English artist John Charles Dollman, created in 1902. The work is a visual interpretation of the mythological subject of the sun god's chariot, a theme prevalent in various ancient cultures. Dollman, known for his depictions of historical and mythological scenes, employs his academic painting style to bring to life the grandeur and drama associated with the myth.

The painting illustrates the moment when the youthful figure, often associated with the Greek god Helios or the Roman Sol, takes the reins of the sun chariot, preparing to ride across the sky. This act symbolizes the journey of the sun from dawn until dusk, a daily cycle that was personified in myth as a celestial deity's voyage. Dollman's rendition captures the dynamism and power of this cosmic event, with the chariot often depicted as being drawn by horses or other mythical creatures.

"Chariot of the Sun" reflects Dollman's fascination with heroic and legendary narratives, showcasing his skill in composition, use of color, and ability to convey movement and emotion. The painting is a testament to the artist's place within the late Victorian and Edwardian art scenes, where there was a renewed interest in classical antiquity and its stories. As a work of art, it not only serves as an example of Dollman's oeuvre but also contributes to the broader cultural understanding of mythological subjects in the context of turn-of-the-century British art.

The painting is part of Dollman's body of work that includes other notable pieces such as "The Immigrants' Ship" (1884) and "Fairy Tales" (1900). While "Chariot of the Sun" may not be as widely recognized as some of Dollman's other works, it remains an important piece within his artistic legacy and the study of mythological representation in art.
