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.

Do you mean Pieter Bruegel? Well, I am sure you do. He spelled his name Brueghel until 1559, and his sons retained the "h" in the spelling of their names. Pieter Bruegel was an artist who painted a picture with oil on canvas named Landscape with the fall of Icarus. This painting was done in 1558 and depicts a boy named Icarus falling and drowning while his surroundings, a peasant, a shepherd and a fisherman, are ignorant to the problem.
