Exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1869, Frederic Leighton’s Daedalus and Icarus represents a paramount masterpiece of Victorian Aestheticism and Classical mythography. Inspired by Ovid’s Metamorphoses, the vertical painting illustrates the ingenious craftsman Daedalus fastening custom feather and wax wings onto his son Icarus high upon a sea cliff before their fateful flight. Leighton masterfully contrasts the sun-bronzed physique of the father with the radiant, sculpturally smooth figure of youth, framed against billowing dark drapery and an azure Mediterranean sea.
