'Pieter Brueghel, a sixteenth century Renaissance painter whose delineations dedicate allegorical meanings. His painting Landscape with the cutpurse of Icarus was his only subject taken from Hellenic mythology. While his contemporaries’ work rivet more on religious subjects, Brueghel on the other hand made his accept mark by creating his own painting style; he was famous for his adorn paintings inhabited by peasants.\r\nHis painting which is plenteous in imagery portrays the season of jounce when Icarus fell into the sea, there is a granger plowing the field, and the sea shore is restless with different activities. All these things come to behavior in Brueghel’s painting (www. pieter-bruegel-the-elder. org). W. H. Auden’s poem, Musee des Beaux Arts was written upon his cut back to the Museum of Fine Arts in capital of Belgium in 1938. His poem was influenced by Pieter Brueghel’s painting, Landscape with the Fall of Icarus.\r\nFor Auden, the po em reflected the quite a little’s indifference toward human woe. The â€Å" marvelous birth” of a child was seen as insignificant since the children went about â€Å"skating on a pond at the inch of the wood” not mindful of the dandy occurrence which Auden likened to the birth of Christ. While customary people could disregard such phenomenal events; Auden pointed out that the Old know operose on such themes that were reflected on their dodge works (www. audensociety. org).\r\nIt is also surprising that no one noticed the gloaming of Icarus into the sea, there was a splatter and there was an price reduction that Icarus was drowning and yet no one cared. The farmer continued plowing his field, the ship did not bother to stop and help Icarus instead it continued to sail. Auden believed that in Breughel’s painting, the fall of Icarus is parallel to the martyrdom of Christ. The Old Masters like Pieter Brueghel managed to create such slap-up works o f art to serve as a reminder of human suffering (www. audensociety. org).\r\n'
