Details of The Lament of Icarus by Herbert Draper

Exh: R.A., 1898 (903).
Lit: A. C. R. Carter, ‘The Royal Academy, 1898’ in Art Journal, 1898, p.182, repr.; Sir Edward J. Poynter, The National Gallery, III, 1900, p.56, repr. p.57.

An oil sketch is in the Lady Lever Art Gallery, Port Sunlight. The first drawing and a study of a Naiad were included in the artist's exhibition at the Leicester Galleries, January 1905 (13 and 60).

Icarus, son of Daedalus, fell into the sea and was drowned when flying with his father from Crete over the Aegean. Daedalus, mythical sculptor, architect and inventor of flying, made wings for himself and his son, but Icarus flew too near the sun, the wax with which the wings were fastened melted and he was killed. The Icarian sea is named after him. The artist does not appear to have read the story carefully, as he has represented the wings still fastened to the body.
