EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the timeless beauty of Antonio Canova's masterpiece, "Daedalus and Icarus". The sculpture, carved from marble with exquisite precision, is housed in the Museo Correr in Venice, Italy. The image captures a poignant moment from Greek mythology as Daedalus, a skilled craftsman and father to Icarus, constructs wings for his son. With meticulous attention to detail, Canova brings this ancient tale to life by depicting the delicate balance between love and ambition. Icarus stands before us as a symbol of youthful curiosity and boundless dreams. His nude figure exudes vulnerability yet radiates an undeniable sense of freedom. The intricate wings attached to his back serve as a reminder of human ingenuity but also foreshadow the tragic consequences that await him. Beside him stands Daedalus, portrayed with paternal concern etched upon his face. As he watches over his son's transformation into a winged being, one can almost feel the weight of responsibility on his shoulders. Canova's work embodies the essence of neoclassical artistry prevalent during the 18th century. Through masterful craftsmanship and attention to anatomical accuracy, he creates an emotionally charged composition that transcends time. This print allows viewers to appreciate every intricate detail captured by Bridgeman Images - from the smooth contours of their bodies to their expressive faces filled with hope and trepidation. It serves as a testament to both Canova's artistic genius and humanity
