"The Lament for Icarus"

This 1898 painting by Herbert James Draper won the gold medal at the Exposition Universelle in Paris, and was later purchased by the Tate Gallery.  (click twice for really big).

    Thank you, Binho! I will definitely post this, because it resonates with a personal memory from about 50 years ago....
