The streamlined body and the architectural rhythm of the feathers turn the ancient myth into a sleek modern emblem, set on a squared black marble base.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe myth of Icarus\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn Greek mythology Icarus and his father, the master craftsman Daedalus, escaped from Crete on wings made of feathers and wax. Ignoring his father's warning, Icarus flew too close to the sun; the wax melted and he fell into the sea. The story has been retold for more than two thousand years as a tale of ambition, daring and the price of overreaching – and in the 1920s and 1930s, the age of aviation, Art Deco artists embraced the winged figure as a symbol of flight, speed and human aspiration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: bronze, on a black marble base\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeight: 43.7 cm (17.2 in)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWidth (wingspan): 45.6 cm (18.0 in)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDepth: 9.5 cm (3.7 in)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 4 kg (8.8 lbs)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA striking piece for a modern living room, an office or a pilot's study – and a natural companion to other Art Deco bronzes and Greek mythology sculptures.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Objeva","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43988295155849,"sku":"BJ-85","price":295.91,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/2566\/7977\/files\/BJ-85.png?v=1784274824","url":"https:\/\/objeva.com\/products\/art-deco-icarus-bronze-sculpture-winged-figure","provider":"Objeva","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
