Icarus

Landscape with the Fall of Icarus is a painting and poem about how no one cares what one person is feeling or going through. All they care about are themselves. Both Landscape with the Fall of Icarus by Pieter Bruegel and “Landscape with the Fall of Icarus” by William Carlos Williams's use the myth of Daedalus and Icarus to show that every single human has to live life for themselves and sometimes the pain and tragedy one person is feeling goes unnoticed to the rest of the world. William Carlos William was born in 1883. William was an American poet and physician. He was educated in Geneva, Switzerland, Univ. of Pennsylvania (“William Carlos Williams”). He grew up in New Jersey and became a doctor(“William Carlos Williams”). William also…

Without a concern, Daedalus believes that Icarus understands how to operate the wings. Icarus is an adolescent, who like most children of his age does not have an extensive attention span. Daedalus has yet to take Icarus out for a flying simulation before rewarding him the wings to fly on his own. A single lesson is not enough to determine the hazards and risks of flying. Similarly to driving a car, it takes years of accumulated experience and practice to fully know an individual's driving skill…

ships are setting sail with as much hopes to profit, as there is cargo. But what- no, who- is that? From the bottom right of the painting, are those someone’s legs helplessly flailing upward out of the water? Could that insignificant blot be Icarus himself? Just as everyone else in the painting goes on with their lives, I too should not have the slightest sympathy for his poor soul. His Father warned him not to fly to close to the sun. His fall was by his own folly, yet I struggle to escape such…

1645, Musei di Strada Nuova, Genoa”. Although the bright red cloth that cover Icarus is replaced with a white one, this artwork still does well in beautifully capturing the other essential elements of this scene. Icarus is depicted looking over his shoulder with his head tilted slightly upward to express his cocky mood. His facial expression shows that he is not paying attention to what his father is telling him and is just brushing it off. The intensity of light is mainly focused on Icarus with…

With The Fall Of Icarus demonstrates this. Each author portrays identical themes by drawing attention away from Icarus. Despite using similar themes, the artists construct their pieces to evoke different moods within the audience. Both artisans put great emphasis on the reality that no one in the painting or poem seemed to care that Icarus was drowning, but each did it in their own, very different ways. Bruegel depicted this in his painting by making the majority of the artwork vibrant and by…

The Legendary Fall “About suffering they were never wrong,” Landscape with the fall of Icarus both the painting and poem displays a level of suffering that should not happen to anyone but, sadly it does. The painting gives you more of a visual approach as to what is happening and you can draw your own conclusion. This painting displays quite and unnoticed because it shows someone drowning and everyone else turning a blind eye. The poem on the other hand is clarifying what is happening in the…

Beauty is magical (three messages from Musee Des Beaux Arts) The first message in Arts is suffering because no one listens and they end up regretting life later. It is suffering because Icarus does not listen to his father when he said don’t go to close to the sun for you will fall. His father builds Icarus wings out of wax so that he can escape from the jail tower. Icarus’s father says do not fly to close to the sun for the wings will melt and you fall, well Icarus did not listen and just…

One of these examples is “Icarus and Daedalus, Lord Frederic Leighton, ca. 1869, Private collection”. In this artwork, Mr. Leighton successfully depicted all three of the key elements: Icarus arrogance, the red cloth, and Daedalus’ seriousness, and did so in an amazing because he incorporated them in different artistic ways. He did not simply express any hubristic emotions on Icarus’s face, but rather through other artistic methods. For instance, the way Icarus is standing in an open form with…
