    Myth of Daedalus and Icarus" (Bulfinch). Discus how each of these authors interprets the myth’s theme.

Clearly looking at the painting‚ you can tell that Icarus is not the focus of

    The myth of Icarus is one that has been used time and time again by artists in countless mediums. Though this story was written long ago‚ whether it is painting or music the appearance or influence of Icarus keeps resurfacing. But some of the creators of the work only use the story as reference‚ instead using the idea and traits of Icarus as a way to relate the viewer or reader. The way they do this is by humanizing Icarus‚ giving him more life-like traits; particularly with an emphasis on fear.

    Even in the chosen title‚ Williams begins to take away from Icarus’ death. Williams parallels a grave incident with an average object‚ a typical landscape painting‚ nothing special‚ definitely no Mona Lisa. He does not choose to paint a picture describing the fall of Icarus‚ he chooses to paint a picture of an everyday landscape that just happens to contain the fall of a wondrous flying boy. An odd thing about the ironic title is “Icarus” positioned at the end of the title line paradoxically contradicts

    The art piece I chose is Landscape with the Fall of Icarus by Pieter Bruegel the Elder. This medium of this painting is an oil on canvas. This type of medium is also painted on linen‚ thus allowing the oil paint to be better absorbed with just thin layers of color called glazes. In addition‚ oil paint dries very slowly making the mixture flexible for different or same colors to be mixed easier‚ even after several days. Another aspect of the oil medium is that it creates a luminosity and smooth effect
