| Landscape with the Fall of Icarus c. 1558 (180 Kb); Oil on canvas, mounted on wood, 73.5 x 112 cm; Musees royaux des Beaux-Arts de Belgique, Brussels |
Look at Bruegel' s painting and read the following poem.
According to Brueghel, when Icarus fell...
It was spring
A farmer was working in his field
A shepherd was looking after his sheep.
A fisherman was catching fish
near the edge of the sea.
All were sweating in the sun
that melted the wings' wax.
Off the coast there was a splash
quite unnoticed.
This was Icarus' drowning.
Then look at some other pupils' drawings:
