<img src="@filePathName" />

Try giving the image path as 

filePathName = "../views/myChartView/_ChartFiles/chart01.jpg";

or

filePathName = "~/views/myChartView/_ChartFiles/chart01.jpg";

You should save it in another folder than "Views" because in MVC this is a folder conventionned for HTML view and no other content, try to save it in "fonts" or whatever else, and it would be :

<img src="fonts/yourimage.jpg" />

If you want some static files to be accessed directly by the client, you cannot store them in the ~/Views folder because by default (for security reasons) the server would not serve content from this folder.

See ~/Views/Web.Config:

<handlers>
  <remove name="BlockViewHandler"/>
  <add name="BlockViewHandler" path="*" verb="*" preCondition="integratedMode" type="System.Web.HttpNotFoundHandler" />
</handlers>

Try to save the files in other directory like ~/Static.
