"Landscape with the Fall of Icarus" is a painting traditionally attributed to Pieter Bruegel the Elder, a renowned Flemish Renaissance artist known for his landscapes and peasant scenes. Believed to have been created around 1558, this work is an oil painting on canvas that depicts the Greek mythological story of Icarus, a young man who flew too close to the sun with wings made of feathers and wax, causing the wax to melt and leading to his fall into the sea.

The painting is notable for its juxtaposition of the dramatic mythological event with the serene and everyday life of the 16th-century Flemish countryside. Bruegel's masterful integration of Icarus's fall into the background of the painting serves as a commentary on the indifference of nature and mankind to individual human tragedy. The landscape dominates the scene, with Icarus's legs seen flailing in the water near the bottom right corner, almost unnoticed by the other figures in the painting who continue with their daily activities.

The work is part of a series of paintings by Bruegel that illustrate complex moral and philosophical ideas through detailed landscapes filled with human activity. "Landscape with the Fall of Icarus" is often praised for its intricate composition, the vivid portrayal of peasant life, and its subtle yet poignant reflection on the human condition.

The attribution of the painting to Bruegel has been a subject of scholarly debate, with some experts suggesting that it may have been completed by one of his followers or someone in his workshop. Despite this, the painting remains an important and influential work in the history of Western art, often studied for its narrative technique and its thematic depth. The painting is currently housed in the Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium in Brussels, though its exact provenance and authenticity continue to be topics of research and discussion among art historians.
