"Phaeton Conduisant le Char d'Apollon" is a notable 18th-century oil painting by French artist Michel-François Dandré-Bardon. Created in 1749, the painting depicts the mythological story of Phaeton, the son of the sun god Apollo, as he recklessly drives his father's sun chariot across the sky. The narrative is derived from Ovid's "Metamorphoses" and has been a popular subject in art, symbolizing the dangers of hubris and lack of experience.

Dandré-Bardon, who was born in Aix-en-Provence in 1700 and died in Paris in 1783, was an influential figure in French art and a co-founder of the Académie de peinture et de sculpture in Marseille. He was known for his historical and mythological scenes, and his work reflects the Rococo style that was prevalent during his time. "Phaeton Conduisant le Char d'Apollon" is a prime example of his skill in composition and his ability to convey dramatic narratives through painting.

The artwork captures the moment of Phaeton's tragic journey, as he loses control of the horses that pull the chariot, leading to chaos in the heavens and on Earth. The painting is characterized by its dynamic movement, dramatic use of light and shadow, and the emotional expressions of the figures depicted. It serves as an important representation of French Rococo art and contributes to the understanding of mythological subjects in European painting.

"Phaeton Conduisant le Char d'Apollon" is held in high regard for its artistic merit and historical significance. It remains an important work for scholars studying Dandré-Bardon's oeuvre and the broader context of 18th-century French art. The painting is an exemplary piece that showcases the artist's mastery and the cultural fascination with classical mythology during the period.
