"La Caduta di Fetonte" (The Fall of Phaethon) is a painting attributed to the Italian Baroque master Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio, although its authenticity has been a subject of debate among art historians. The work is believed to have been created in the early 17th century, possibly around 1604, during Caravaggio's mature period. The painting depicts the dramatic moment from Greek mythology when Phaethon, the son of the sun god Helios, loses control of his father's chariot and is struck down by a thunderbolt from Zeus, leading to his fall from the sky. This subject is a classic example of the Baroque fascination with dynamic movement, emotional intensity, and the dramatic use of chiaroscuro, a technique Caravaggio pioneered and for which he is renowned.

The painting's provenance and attribution to Caravaggio have been contentious, with some experts questioning its authorship due to stylistic differences from his known works. Despite this, "La Caduta di Fetonte" has been studied extensively, and some scholars support its attribution to Caravaggio based on certain characteristic elements in the painting. The artwork is currently housed in the private collection of the Earl of Yarborough, making it less accessible for public viewing and scholarly examination.

In "La Caduta di Fetonte," Caravaggio's signature use of dramatic lighting and realism is said to be evident, capturing the terror and chaos of Phaethon's fall. The painting's composition, with figures tumbling through the air against a darkened sky, showcases Caravaggio's skill in portraying complex narratives and human emotions. If confirmed as a genuine Caravaggio, the painting would represent an important addition to the artist's oeuvre, offering insights into his thematic interests and artistic development during a pivotal time in his career.
