“Landscapes and the Fall of Icarus” is a large plaque from the year 1560 hanging in the largest museum
In Belgium – the Museum of Fine Arts – has decided to be an accurate version of the painting
The original (currently missing) works by Flemish artist Peter Bruegel. The painting appears
A rustic landscape: the ships prepare to sail, the sheep herdsmen herd herds,
Remote cities look prosperous and organized. But at the bottom right corner
For the canvas, a tragedy unfolds, barely noticed. Reckless “Icarus”, the legendary character of the
Classical mythology, in the final stages of one of the most famous aviation disasters
In the ancient world. Along with his father “Didalus”, the young man made for himself
A pair of wings, glued together. “Didalus” warned his son not to fly
Close to the sun, fearing that the heat melts the structure, but the reckless boy
He rose apathetically high, to fall down amid the waves, to
He died. The end of “Icarus” is not intentionally the main axis of the painting.
The eye is instead directed to the beautiful towns and beautiful ships in
Remote. As if confirming the idea of plowshares in the center of the painting indicate
The popular example: “The plow does not stop for a man to die.” This neglect of the tragedy of “Icarus”
It is on the one hand, terrifying and sad. We can conclude from him how little attention he gives
The world of our pain. However, from another perspective, this neglect is deeply gratifying
More importantly, salvation. It is one of the main sources of our complication as we spend
Many of our lives are afraid of our reputation and wonder what others will think
About us when we fail – we will inevitably do sometimes. The lowest change
For our image in the eyes of others can obsess us. We lie awake at night wondering how we can
We overcome the need to please people we do not even like. We recognize our freedom
To the provisions of strangers. But the painter’s genius lies here: to appear
How we do when we really mess up, almost no one will look or care too much.
Farms busy in plowing, shepherds thinker in the weather,
Another person immersed in fishing. Our tragedies do not occupy society as
We fear it will do. Few people may notice for a moment, then quickly move on
To the next thing. We are in the center of the galaxy, just in our minds. We mostly changed people
They do not care what happens or what we do. The world is still full of people
They have not heard us and will never do. Those who may be angry or hopeless
From you now, they will have forgotten everything about you very soon. Bake gradually
Will disappear into oblivion in an indifferent world. Not
Only “Icarus” that is swallowed and disappears under the waves: some of the same thing
Waiting for the biggest mistakes and embarrassing positions we have.
