Lament for Icarus by Herbert James Draper

I stumbled upon this painting a couple of days ago, when i was researching for some classic mythology paintings of late '800 early '900. Being very fond of the legend of icarus, this particular painting draw my attention.

What we are seeing are the nynphs crying (lamenting) for the falling of the young man, Icarus, who sinned of hubrys and flew to close to the sun (and he wasn't much of a girlboss, the wax melt and he fell). The strange thing here is, the wings are completely undemaged and we can see them, they are a reproduction of the paradise bird ones made by his dad, Dedalus. this particular choice made this appearance romantic, almost heroic. the man is tanned simbolizing his close approach with the sun (in a couple of myths we can read about helios, later apollos, cart tanning people or burn their skin to make it darker). all the figures in this painting were depicted separate, with different models. this painting won the first place in the exposition universelle in paris in 1900.

[ id: a redraw of the lament for icarus with wynn, frankie, and percy out on the lawn in front of frankie’s manor house. wynn lays sprawled out, limp, in frankie’s lap, wings spread. frankie looks incredibly done with her, and wynn leans in behind her, also looking incredibly done and holding a knife. the dialogue is as follows:

Wynn: i need... i need... Percy: She’s going to say coochie. Wynn: coochie... /end id ]

so one of my art servers had a classical art redraw challenge and i made it very silly.

anyways i genuinely hope all of these jokes about philza, jordan, etc being old and senile doesn’t get internalized by any of the kids in this fandom. you’re not old in your 30s. you’re not past your prime, you haven’t wasted away your “golden years”, turning 30 or even reaching your 20s doesn’t mean you’ve already passed the best years of your life. your teens and early 20s are most likely not going to be your peak. it’s okay if you haven’t had the big, life-altering coming of age story or life-changing trip by the time you’re out of high school or college. it’s okay if you haven’t blown up on content creation or haven’t had the opportunity to even start. as funny as some of the jokes can be, and as much as they’re meant to just stay jokes, it’s been shown that they’ve already had an impact on how some of the younger fans view aging and one’s lifespan, and i hope something can be done to counteract that at some point
