EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Fall of Icarus" created by Adriaen Collaert, Claes Jansz. Visscher (II), and Eduwart van Hoeswinckel between 1584 and 1618, we are transported to a world where mythological scenes come to life. The image depicts the tragic tale of Icarus, who dared to fly too close to the sun with his wax wings. As we gaze upon the scene, our eyes are drawn to Icarus soaring through the sky, his wings melting as he ventures higher into the heavens. His fall is imminent, and even in his final moments, he remains defiantly reaching towards the unreachable sun. Meanwhile, on earth below, a farmer diligently plows his field while pastors gather around him pointing up at the falling figure in disbelief. Nature continues its course as birds flutter overhead and crustaceans crawl along ornamental flowers that adorn this picturesque landscape. The print masterfully combines elements of biblical imagery with nature's beauty and human emotion. It serves as a reminder of humanity's ambition and its consequences when boundaries are pushed beyond their limits. Quint Lox has captured not only the essence of this remarkable artwork but also invites us to reflect on our own aspirations and limitations within an ever-changing world.
