Question

Type your response in the box. Examine this sixteenth-century painting, Landscape with the Fall of Icarus, by Pieter Bruegel. Then read the story “Icarus and Daedalus” from Old Greek Folk Stories Told Anew by Josephine Preston Peabody. The painting and the story are both based on the Greek myth of the skilled craftsman Daedalus and his son Icarus. Compare how this myth is portrayed in the painting and in the text. Is the mood similar or different? How do the painter and author create these moods?

Answer 1

Answer:

The text mentions the joy of flying and of freedom. It describes Daedalus and Icarus leaving Earth and becoming airborne. There is a positive mood in the beginning as Icarus experiences the joy and liberty of flying. The father and son are viewed as gods by those who see them.In the second half of the excerpt, the mood suddenly changes. Icarus is careless and gets too close to the sun, and the wax in his wings melts. The mood falls along with Icarus.The painting concentrates only on Icarus drowning. However, Icarus's fall is portrayed as an event of no significance. His drowning goes unnoticed by the other people in the painting, who continue working. The bright colors of the painting also create a positive, radiant mood, which contrasts with the image of Icarus’ body in the water.The text shows the mood of the grief-stricken Daedalus, who hangs up his wings and names a nearby island Icaria, in memory of his son. In contrast, the painting tells us nothing about Daedalus.
