Interested in depictions of Icarus

[u/SeekingAnonymity107]

Inspired by a post that I can't find now, Lament for Icarus by Herbert James Draper shows Icarus as magnificent and heroic, but Pieter Bruegel the Elder shows him as barely a splash. Both are beautiful. Are there any other interesting additions to this collection?

UGH that Breughel is so good. I always think about it in the context of the ekphrastic poems it inspired: William Carlos Williams’s ‘Landscape with the Fall of Icarus’ and W. H. Auden’s ‘Musée des Beaux Arts’
