"The Lament for Icarus" | By Herbert Draper

$49.95

Draper wraps the fallen Icarus in mythic tragedy: wings spread wide, nymphs mourning, and the sun dipping like a dramatic fade-out behind them. It’s poetic, epic, and extravagant. The only problem? Your cat may think “Icarus” is just a bird with fancy feathers. Don’t let them eat him—he’s been through enough. Thanks.

    • The Master: Herbert Draper

    • Year Painted: 1898

    • Style: Expressionism

    • Golden Wings: This very painting nabbed Draper a gold medal at the 1900 Paris Exposition and was later scooped up by the Chantrey Bequest for Tate Britain. Talk about art that's both tragic and Majestic AF.

    • Model Behavior: Draper assembled this tragic tableau using four separate professional models—two nymphs comforted Icarus, a third mournfully held his lifeless body, and Icarus himself was posed in all his winged glory. Drama, assembled piece by piece.

    • No Melt: In a bold artistic twist, Draper leaves Icarus’s wings intact—despite the myth saying they melted mid-flight.

    • Approx. 23”W x 18.5”H

    • Large format, vibrant, high-quality print on durable, semi-rigid thermoplastic.
