About This Design

The Fall of Icarus (by Jacob Peter Gowy) Postcard

The Fall of Icarus (by Jacob Peter Gowy) Postcard

This design features a painting by Jacob Peter Gowy (or Gouwy), who was a Flemish Baroque painter of history paintings and portraits. In Greek mythology, Icarus was the son of Daedalus, who created the Labyrinth on the island of Crete. When Icarus and Daedalus attempted to flee from Crete, using wings that the father had created from feathers bound to their body with wax. Icarus, however, flew too close to sun, causing the wax to melt and the man to fall down into the sea. His fall is commonly interpreted as a tragic symbol of hubris and overconfidence.

Bought 10 Shakespeare quotes postcards and have framed them individually and placed them around the house Love them, some are funny and some are deep and meaningful! Lovely background on some, excellent printed words. A couple of plain white cards with black print - very stricking

My order was probably an awkward one! I asked for a range of different fine-art prints, in postcard size. It was all freshly printed, delivered quickly and at a very reasonable price. Best quality matt finish I've seen on a fine-art print.
