"La Chute d’Icare" (The Fall of Icarus) is one of Henri Matisse's most emblematic works (1943-1944), belonging to his Jazz series. Created with the technique of gouaches découpées (cut and painted papers), it depicts the mythological figure of Icarus falling against an intense blue background with yellow stars and a red dot at the heart. It is one of the most recognizable images in 20th-century modern art, a symbol of freedom, tragedy, and vitality.
