EDITORS COMMENTS
DURER: DAEDALUS & ICARUS. Daedalus and Icarus. Woodcut, 1493, by Albrecht Durer captures the timeless tale of a father's love and the consequences of reaching for the sky. In this exquisite print, Durer masterfully depicts the mythical figures from ancient Greece - Daedalus, the skilled craftsman, and his son Icarus. The woodcut showcases their daring flight as they escape imprisonment on Crete using wings made of feathers and wax. The intricate details in Durer's work bring to life the excitement and trepidation felt by both characters as they soar towards freedom. Daedalus' protective stance over his young son is evident in every line etched into this piece. His face reflects a mix of pride and concern while Icarus exudes youthful enthusiasm with outstretched arms embracing their newfound liberation. However, tragedy looms overhead as Icarus' audacious nature leads him too close to the sun despite his father's warnings. As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded of our own human limitations and how hubris can lead to downfall. Albrecht Durer's woodcut stands as a testament to his artistic prowess during the late Renaissance period. It serves not only as an aesthetic marvel but also offers us a glimpse into ancient mythology that continues to captivate audiences today.
