Brueghel's painting focuses on the people of the cost rather than lcarus.
In Pieter Bruegel's painting "Landscape with the Fall of Icarus," the central element from Ovid's story is Icarus's fall itself, symbolizing the consequences of hubris. However, Bruegel chooses to depict this event as a minor incident in the background, emphasizing the indifference of the surrounding world. The focus is on the daily lives of the farmers and fishermen, suggesting that human struggles and labor continue regardless of individual tragedies. This contrast highlights themes of human existence and the fleeting nature of individual ambition.
