The Grief of Icarus
Pickup currently not available
Description
An original drawing revisualizing the classic Greek legend of Icarus, the boy who flew too close to the sun. The drawing was completed with led pencils and a graphite stick on mixed media paper.
The legend behind the print:
Icarus, the son of Daedalus, escaped from Crete using wings made of feathers and wax. Despite his father’s warning not to fly too high, Icarus soared toward the sun, causing the wax in his wings to melt. He fell into the sea and drowned, serving as a cautionary tale about the dangers of hubris and ignoring wise advice. This print depicts Icarus having fallen, in the arms of a grieving loved one.
