Question 4. What does the painting focus on? Why do you think it has this focus?

Question 5. Does this landscape look like it is set in ancient Greece or 16th Century Belgium? What clues made you guess that?

Question 6. Find Icarus in the painting. (It's not easy. If you're having trouble, read the poems below for clues.) How does Bruegal's depiction of Icarus drowning differ from Bulfinch's? What details are focused on in each work?

Question 7. When an allusion is used in literature or other arts it brings with it all the 'baggage' of

the whole background story that the allusion refers to,
all the emotional associations the reader already has for that background story
all the cultural significance of the background story including other works that have also used it.

That can be quite a lot of baggage packed tightly into one little word, phrase, or image. In this painting, how does the teeny-tiny image of Icarus add significance to the rest of the landscape?
