"Daedalus and Icarus" is a notable oil painting by the French artist Laurent Pecheux (1729–1821), created in the late 18th century. The painting depicts the tragic mythological story of Daedalus, a skilled craftsman, and his son Icarus, who attempt to escape from the island of Crete by means of wings that Daedalus constructed from feathers and wax. According to the myth, despite Daedalus's warning, Icarus flies too close to the sun, causing the wax in his wings to melt and leading to his fall into the sea, where he drowns.

Pecheux's interpretation of this classic tale is imbued with the emotional and dramatic elements characteristic of the neoclassical movement, which sought to revive the classical ideals of ancient Greece and Rome. The painting captures the pivotal moment of Icarus's disobedience and the impending doom, reflecting on themes of hubris, the human condition, and the limitations of man.

Laurent Pecheux, an artist who received his training in Rome and was influenced by the works of the great masters, brings a dynamic composition and a refined use of light and shadow to this work, emphasizing the tension and foreboding of the narrative. The painting serves as a fine example of Pecheux's artistic prowess and his ability to convey complex narratives through visual art.

"Daedalus and Icarus" by Laurent Pecheux is considered an important work within the artist's oeuvre and contributes to the understanding of neoclassical interpretations of mythological subjects. It remains a subject of interest for art historians and enthusiasts who are drawn to the neoclassical style and its storytelling capabilities.
