Summary

Description
English: Pinckney Marcius Simons, The Chariot of the Sun, oil on canvas, 34.5 x 43.5 inches. Lot 40 in Deluxe illustrated catalogue of paintings and water colors of the Italian, French, Dutch and American schools by old and modern masters, and other art property, to be sold to facilitate the settlement of the estate of the late James S. Inglis of Cottier and company, New York. The public sale was March 11 and 12, 1909. The catalogue notes that Inglis had purchased the painting from M. Knoedler & Co.

Lot description: "We see a limitless landscape, embracing farms and forests, towns and villages, past which flows a silvery river spanned by bridges. At the right a white castle, with its dependencies, sits perched on the almost inaccessible height above the stream. Through the sky comes the Chariot of the Sun, in which Apollo drives his widely separated and rearing steeds. As he advances, the golden glory of the morn radiates over all the landscape, touching castle and stream with light, and dispelling the mists that hang over the world."[1]

At this sale, the painting was purchased by Mrs. Geo. Leary for $250.[2]
