This painting, titled Lament for Icarus, was painted by Herbert J Draper in 1898. It shows the deadIcarus, surrounded by lamentingnymphs. The wings of Icarus are based on thebird-of-paradisepattern. In Greek mythology, Daedalus was the builder of the labyrinth at Knossos in Crete (designed to keep the Minotaur within). To escape his confinement on the island by the king, he designed wings of wax and feathers for himself and his son, Icarus (here). But, Icarus flew too close to the sun. The wax melted, and he fell into the sea (name after the Icarian sea). Daedalus made it to Sicily, where he was said to have died later. Herbert James Draper(1863/4 - 1920) was an EnglishClassicistpainter whose career began in theVictorian era.
