"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. The work, believed to have been completed around 1558, is an oil on canvas that depicts the Greek mythological story of Icarus, a young man 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.

The painting is notable for its juxtaposition of the dramatic mythological event with the serene, everyday life of 16th-century Flanders. The landscape dominates the scene, with Icarus's fall relegated to a small detail in the background, where only his flailing legs are visible in the sea. This treatment of the subject matter reflects Bruegel's humanist tendencies, emphasizing the indifference of nature and the continuity of life despite individual tragedies.

The foreground of the painting is occupied by a ploughman, a shepherd, and a fisherman, all of whom are absorbed in their work and seemingly oblivious to Icarus's fate. The vastness of the landscape, with its detailed depiction of agricultural activities and distant ships on the horizon, underscores the insignificance of the individual within the larger context of the world.

"Landscape with the Fall of Icarus" is housed in the Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium in Brussels, though its attribution to Bruegel has been a subject of debate among art historians. Some experts suggest that the work may be a copy by an unknown artist, based on an original lost Bruegel composition. Despite questions surrounding its authorship, the painting remains an important work for its innovative composition and its reflection of Renaissance humanist themes.
