Sculpture, Brons mythologische beeld van Icarus - 44 cm - Bronze, Marble - 2025

Sculpture of Icarus stands on a square marble base.

Icarus was the son of the master inventor Daedalus, known from Greek mythology. He tried to escape from Crete by flying on wings made of feathers and wax, which his father had made. Because Icarus flew too close to the sun, the wax on his wings melted, after which he fell into the sea and drowned.

This bronze statue was made using the lost-wax method, an age-old technique.

First, a layer of wax is applied inside the mold, then the mold is filled with clay, after which liquid bronze is poured into the mold.
The applied layer of wax runs out, and the space created as a result fills with bronze.
The statue is cooled, then opened and finished, ground and polished.
This statue is a valuable object and is made of 75% bronze, which means it is guaranteed to have a very long lifespan.

Dimensions: height 44 cm, width 46 cm, depth 9 cm.
Numbered: A2540
