"La Caduta di Icaro" (The Fall of Icarus) is a 17th-century oil painting by French Baroque artist Laurent de La Hyre. Born on February 27, 1606, in Paris, La Hyre became a prominent figure in the French school of painting, known for his classical and allegorical works that often carried a moral or intellectual weight. This particular painting, "La Caduta di Icaro," is a visual representation of the famous Greek myth of Icarus, the son of the master craftsman Daedalus, who fell to his death when he flew too close to the sun, causing the wax in his wings to melt.

The artwork is a testament to La Hyre's skill in composition and his ability to convey narrative through painting. It typically depicts the dramatic moment of Icarus's fall from the sky, as Daedalus watches in despair. The painting is characterized by its classical approach to form and figure, with careful attention to the anatomy of the characters, and the use of light and shadow to create a sense of depth and volume. La Hyre's color palette is often noted for its subtlety and sophistication, which adds to the emotional impact of the scene.

"La Caduta di Icaro" reflects the Baroque era's fascination with human emotion, drama, and the use of mythological subjects to explore complex themes. The painting not only captures the physical descent of Icarus but also serves as an allegory for the dangers of hubris and the human condition's vulnerability. As with many of La Hyre's works, this painting would have been appreciated for both its aesthetic qualities and its intellectual engagement with the viewer.

While the exact date of creation for "La Caduta di Icaro" is not well-documented, it is generally attributed to the period when La Hyre was most active, between the 1630s and 1650s. The painting is an example of the artist's mature style, which blended the influence of his French contemporaries with the classical ideals of Italian Renaissance art.

Today, "La Caduta di Icaro" is considered an important work within Laurent de La Hyre's oeuvre and contributes to the understanding of Baroque painting in France. The painting's current location or ownership status is not widely publicized, which is not uncommon for works from this period. Art historians and enthusiasts continue to study La Hyre's paintings, including "La Caduta di Icaro," for their artistic merit and the insight they provide into the cultural and philosophical currents of 17th-century Europe.
