Description:
Der Ikarus-Mythos hat die abendländische Kunst immer wieder beschäftigt. Er erzählt vom Übermut des Knaben Ikarus, dem Sohn des Daedalus, der für sich und seinen Sohn künstliche Flügel schuf, diese mit Wachs an seinem Körper befestigte und auf diese Weise aus kretischer Gefangenschaft entkam. Hoch in den Lüften fühlte sich Ikarus gottgleich und stieg immer höher in Richtung Sonne, so dass das Wachs zu schmelzen begann und er schliesslich jäh ins Meer stürzte. --------------------------------------------------------- The Icarus myth has preoccupied Western art time and time again. It tells of the high-spirited cockiness of the boy Icarus, son of Daedalus who built artificial wings for himself and his son, attaching them with wax to their bodies and thus enabling them to escape imprisonment on Crete. High up in the air, Icarus felt godlike and ascended ever higher towards the sun, so that the wings began to melt and he finally fell abruptly into the sea.
