EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodcut engraving, titled "Daedalus, escaping from Crete with his son, Icarus, sees him falling to his death" captures a tragic moment in Greek mythology. The image depicts Daedalus and Icarus attempting to flee their imprisonment on the island of Crete. According to legend, Daedalus crafted wings made of wax and feathers for himself and his young son in order to fly away. In this poignant scene, Daedalus gazes upon the devastating sight of Icarus plummeting towards the sea below. The anguish on his face reflects both the heartbreak of a father witnessing his child's demise and the consequences of unchecked hubris. As Icarus flew too close to the Sun despite his father's warnings, the heat melted the wax holding his wings together, leading to a fatal fall. The intricate details within this woodcut engraving bring forth an atmosphere of sorrow and tragedy. Created by an anonymous German artist during the 15th century, this print is part of Friedrich Riederer's popular treatise on Roman Law called "Spiegel der wahren Rhetorik". Preserved in Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, France; it continues to captivate viewers with its timeless portrayal of human ambition met with dire consequences. Through this artwork by Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are reminded not only of our own mortal limitations but also that even great feats can be undone by overreaching aspirations
