About this work
Mountain landscape with a river, above which Icarus tumbles from the air after flying too close to the sun, melting the wax between his wings. In the air to the right his father Daedalus. In the foreground peasants busy with their daily occupations look surprised upwards. In the far background a sea with some ships. A text in Latin below the image.
