Dædalus og Ikarus 1905

"Dædalus og Ikarus" is an etching by Oluf Hartmann created in 1905. The print depicts the Greek myth of Daedalus and Icarus, with Daedalus shown from the back and Icarus barely visible in the foreground. The dark background, which is typical of Hartmann's work, creates a sense of drama and mystery. The etching is now part of the collection of the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst. The image is a powerful reminder of the dangers of hubris and the consequences of flying too close to the sun.
