Icarus (Latin: Icarus) in Greek mythology, the son of Daedalus. Together with his father, he fled the island of Crete from its king Minos. Daedalus constructed wings for both of them, made of bird feathers glued together with wax. Icarus, fascinated by the flight, against his father’s warnings, soared too high, and the sun melted the wax, and Icarus fell into the sea and died.

This sculpture is entirely handmade, using the so-called lost wax method. Despite the great care with which our bronze sculptures are made, there is a possibility that this figure may slightly differ from other such sculptures shown in the photos. The marble from which the base of the sculpture is made is a natural material. Consequently, we will never find two identical pieces. This makes this item even more special. It is an excellent work, and communing with it gives you a lifetime of pleasure.
