Answer:
A.) Brueghel’s painting focuses on only Icarus and ignores Daedalus.
Explanation:
The painting "Landscape With The Fall of Icarus" by Brughel just focus on the people of the coast rather than Icarus. There is no representation of the figure of Daedalus in the picture. Instead, the surrounding of the ocean along with the townspeople and Icarus immersed in the water except for his legs is shown in the painting.
Ovid's "The Story of Daedalus and Icarus" tells how a father-son duo escaped from their captivity by making wings and flying away from the place. But the son Icarus flew too close to the sun so his wings melt and he drowned into the sea. But in here, both the father and the son were mentioned.
Though Ovid's story includes the father-son duo, the painting by Brueghel did not only ignore the figure of Daedalus but also did not focus on Icarus much. Instead, he laid more emphasis on the surrounding characters, the sailor, the farmer and the shepherd.
Thus, Brughel's painting differ from that of Ovid's story in that it focuses on the people of the coast rather than the main characters that the story/painting was majorly about.
