EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of "The Fall of Icarus" - a renowned engraving by Bernard Picart. The image depicts the tragic mythological character, Icarus, in his ill-fated attempt to escape from captivity using wings made of feathers and wax. As he soars through the sky with an air of exhilaration, his audacious flight ultimately leads to his downfall. Picart's masterful engraving skillfully portrays the dramatic moment when Icarus realizes that he has flown too close to the sun, causing the wax on his wings to melt. With despair etched upon his face, he plummets towards the unforgiving sea below. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every stroke, capturing both Icarus' vulnerability and defiance against fate. Displayed at Bibliotheque des Arts Decoratifs in Paris, France, this antique piece holds immense historical significance. It serves as a reminder of ancient Greek mythology and its enduring impact on art throughout centuries. Leonard de Selva's expert photography brings out the richness and depth of this iconic artwork while preserving its original charm. This print allows viewers to appreciate Picart's craftsmanship up close and personal. Whether you are drawn by mythology or simply captivated by artistic mastery, this enchanting print offers a glimpse into one of history's most tragic tales – a timeless symbol cautioning against hubris and reminding us all about our own limitations amidst boundless ambition.
