Anthony van Dyck (Belgian, 1599-1641)
Icarus and Daedalus
Ca. 1618
Oil on canvas (112,3 x 93 cm)
Museum of Fine Arts
In Greek mythology, Icarus was the son of the master craftsman Daedalus, the architect of the labyrinth of Crete. After Theseus, king of Athens and enemy of King Minos, escaped from the labyrinth, Minos suspected that Icarus and Daedalus had revealed the labyrinth's secrets and imprisoned them. Icarus and Daedalus escaped using wings Daedalus constructed from birds’ molted feathers, threads from blankets, the leather straps from their sandals, and beeswax. Before escaping, Daedalus warned Icarus not to fly too low or the water would soak the feathers and not to fly too close to the sun or the heat would melt the wax. Icarus ignored Daedalus's instructions not to fly too close to the sun, causing the beeswax in his wings to melt. Icarus fell from the sky, plunged into the sea, and drowned.
In this painting Van Dyck depicts himself as Icarus, with an expression that does not seem as if he’s following his father’s advice. He’s not looking at his father. As if Icarus is in the process of making the decision to disobey his father, to do what he wants to do.
This is a painting of a Greek myth, but also illustrative of the artist’s own life, of his own relationship with his father, or an important father figure in his life. Van Dyck has, in a sense, two fathers. He’s got a biological father, who he separated from, in a legal sense, not long before this painting was made. He also is separating himself from his teacher, Peter Paul Rubens, the great Flemish Baroque painter who had taught him much and was the major artistic figure in Antwerp and across Europe in the early 17th century.
Van Dyck is showing us that he is thinking about himself in his role as an artist, and what he can do, and where he wants to go as an artist. But not just thinking about it, but recording those thoughts in the form of a large-scale painting.

Jacob Peter Gowy (Belgian, ca. 1615-1661)
The Fall of Icarus
Ca. 1635-1637
Oil on canvas (195 x 180 cm)
Museo del Prado
Jacob Peter Gouwy or Jacob Peter Gowy was a Flemish Baroque painter of history paintings and portraits. He collaborated with Peter Paul Rubens in the mid-1630s. In 1636 Rubens received a commission from the Spanish king Philip IV of Spain to create a series of mythological paintings to decorate the Torre de la Parada, a hunting lodge of the king near Madrid. The mythological scenes depicted in the series were largely based on the Metamorphoses of Ovid. Rubens realized this important commission with the assistance of a large number of Antwerp painters who worked after Rubens' designs. Gouwy was also involved in this project as a collaborator. Two of the canvases which Gouwy created after designs by Rubens, one representing The Fall of Icarus and the other Hippomenes and Atalanta, are in the collection of the Museo del Prado in Madrid. A comparison with Rubens' original designs shows that the artist only made minor modifications to these designs.

Herbert James Draper (English, 1863-1920)
The Lament for Icarus
1898
Oil on canvas (180 x 150 cm)
Tate
Draper applied liquid light effects without abandoning form and used mainly warm colours. The tanned skin of Icarus refers to his close approach to the Sun before falling down. The rays of the setting sun on distant cliffs emphasize the transience of time. Moralizing, sentimental, and sensual, The Lament for Icarus ultimately became a well-composed image of epic failure. However, somewhat surprising, Icarus has his wings fully intact, contrary to the myth where the wax melted and Icarus fell flapping his bare arms.

Not sure if the timing of #Trump telling his cabinet thet #ElonMusk's wings will be clipped (if the glue holding them doesn't come off spontaneously) is related to #Musk's failed bribery gambit in #Wisconsin.

The Flight and Fall of #Icarus
I’ve been enjoying Eagles Of Death Metal’s cover of George Michael’s Careless Whisper. The origin story of the composition of that song is heartbreaking. A teenage boy thinking he’s clever enough to juggle girlfriends. Hearts get broken. As they are wont to do
George claimed he had learned his lesson. Some icarian hubris. A break that was set correctly. I believe him.
Some of us don’t learn and simply behave better out of exhaustion and decrepitude. Hard to be an ugly casanova. A diet restricted don juan. A wrinkly romeo with a waning libido. In bed by nine.

Who is your favorite fighter pilot in anime and why is it Mariya Parina-Sterling?
Gilbert's Icarus is another one of my favorite sculptures.
He did so much that I love. Someday I might see them in person.

We have talked a lot about Kitten Space Agency lately. But does Rocketwerkz, the studio behind the potential KSP successor, have the DNA to build a fun space game?
I tried their older titles, Icarus and Stationeers, to find out!

Watching #Icarus for the 3rd time..
One of the tragic things about it is #grigoryrodchenkov .
Such a lovely character full of light and humour, now living in hiding in the US.
There's a bit where he says "remember me".. he fully knew his life was going to be messed up, still he chose to be a #whistleblower .
