About The Flight Of Icarus
"The Flight Of Icarus" by Jacob Peter Gowy is the painting which was started by Peter Paul Rubens and completed by Jacob Peter Gowy. Architect and sculptor Daedalus had built the Cretan labyrinth for King Minos in order to imprison the minotaur. He too was then imprisoned in it by the monarch's order. Wishing to leave the island with his son Icarus, he made two pairs of wings similar to those of birds, using feathers attached with wax. Forgetting his father's advice, Icarus flew too close to the sun, melting the wax of his wings and falling into the sea. Daedalus watches his son's fall despairingly, unable to save him. The painting illustrates the most dramatic moment of Ovid's narrative, when Daedalus looks towards Icarus falling headlong into the void. The painter confers a highly human dimension to his work by representing the painful loss of a son. This painting represents the destiny of man. About the Framed Prints
