This painting represents man’s indifference to the suffering of others. Icarus was the main character in a Greek legend. He created wings made of feather & wax but flew too close to the sun. In the painting, Icarus is hard to find (he’s just below the big boat) and the main character in the painting is going about his work without noticing.
