"River Landscape with the Fall of Icarus" is a painting traditionally attributed to Pieter Bruegel the Elder, a renowned Flemish Renaissance artist known for his landscapes and peasant scenes. However, the attribution of this particular work has been the subject of debate among art historians, and it is now widely believed to be a good early copy by an unknown artist of Bruegel's lost original, based on the painting's style and the results of technical examinations.

The painting, believed to have been created in the 1560s, is an oil on canvas that depicts a serene, expansive landscape with a river flowing into the distant sea. The scene is filled with intricate details of daily life in the foreground, where farmers tend to their fields and a shepherd gazes into the sky. In the background, ships sail on the calm sea under a clear sky. The painting's title refers to the myth of Icarus, a character from Greek mythology who flew too close to the sun with wings made of feathers and wax, causing the wax to melt and leading to his fall into the sea. This event is subtly represented in the painting: the legs of Icarus can be seen flailing in the water near the bottom right corner, almost unnoticed amidst the tranquility of the landscape and the mundane activities of the figures.

The work is often interpreted as a commentary on the insignificance of individual human tragedy within the broader tapestry of life and nature, a theme that resonates with Bruegel's known preoccupation with the human condition and the folly of hubris. "River Landscape with the Fall of Icarus" is part of a series of works by Bruegel that integrate classical mythology with contemporary Flemish life, inviting reflection on the relationship between man and the natural world.

The painting is currently housed in the Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium in Brussels, where it continues to intrigue viewers and scholars alike with its rich detail, complex iconography, and the mystery surrounding its true authorship.
