About the piece
Painted around 1634, this work by Anthony van Dyck captures the poignant moment as Daedalus prepares his son, Icarus, for their legendary flight. The composition is defined by its dramatic contrast between the glowing, youthful form of Icarus and the weathered, shadowed presence of his father, rendered with the fluid brushwork characteristic of the Flemish master.
