Guys help me with this plz

Answer 1

I believe Brueghel is using the painting as a metaphor for human pride and ambition...It’s a parable on human aspiration.Icarus drowns amid the landscape..Life goes on according to the painting..Trading vessels go about their business..The death of Icarus is of no importance than a bird falling out of the sky..Mankind goes about its business..
