A reproduction of a work by Lord Frederick Leighton, “Icarus”. This Pre-Raphaelite masterpiece of 1869 is a wonderful depiction of the preparations of Daedelus for the flight of Icarus. We see no foreshadowing of the tragic end of this great experiment. It may be an allegory of the efforts of Man to overcome his natural limitations.
