Bruegel depended upon himself and developed new ways which can be used to interpret ancient myths in a way that was didactic. Bruegel's paintings became an inspiration for artists which later came. Landscape With The Fall Of Icarus undermined the genre of landscape painting.
Bruegel’s primary strength was defining artistic modernism at a time when only few were aware of it. The poem Landscape With The Fall Of Icarus written by William Carlos was a mere summary. For example, the first stanza was just a recap of the painting’s inner season by using shallow language.
I believe Brueghel's painting is more subtle, original and therefore, creates an emotional response that is more powerful in the reader or viewer.
