In "The Lament for Icarus" (1898), Herbert James Draper captures the tragic end of Icarus, the mythological figure who dared to fly too close to the sun. With wings crafted by his father Daedalus, Icarus soared into the sky, but his ambition led to his fall. The wax in his wings melted under the sun’s heat, and he plummeted into the sea. Draper’s painting shows the lifeless body of Icarus washed ashore—majestic yet vulnerable, a poetic reflection on human aspiration, hubris, and mortality.
