About the piece
Painted in 1897 by Vlaho Bukovac, this Symbolist work captures the tragic aftermath of the myth of Icarus. The figure is sprawled against a rugged rocky outcrop, with the remnants of his wax-bound wings still attached to his limbs. The composition is defined by a sophisticated palette of ochre, sienna, and deep reds, highlighting Bukovac's mastery of light and form within a dramatic, earthy landscape.
