Вижу ужас Дедала. Он кричит. Хотела написать, что он кричит. Да понятно ,что он кричит, когда видит падающего сына, по жесту руки.
А у Икара - юное, наивное лицо.

These extraordinary tondos are the most daring works to have resulted from the brief collaboration between Goltzius and the painter Cornelisz van Haarlem. The common bond of the four fallers is that each one tried to enter the realm of the gods and was punished for his hubris.
Although he worked from Cornelisz's designs, Goltzius should be given just as much credit as the painter for the striking nature of these scenes. His bold, meshed, swelling strokes lend the figures a powerful presence and masterfully evoke the reflections of light and shadow on their rippling muscles. The sense of confusion surrounding the falls of Ixion and Tantalus into their hellish surroundings is heightened by repeated patterns of swirling lines. The four seemingly varied poses are in fact more or less the same pose (one leg bent down, the other raised; one arm raised, the other lowered) viewed from different angles.
Tantalus, Icarus, Phaeton, and Ixion: From the series The Four Disgracers, 1588
Hendrick Goltzius (Netherlandish, 1558–1617), after Cornelisz van Haarlem (Netherlandish, 1562–1638)
http://www.christies.com/LotFinder/lot_details.aspx?intObjectID=5543670In this magnificent and highly eccentric series of prints, Goltzius depicts The Four Disgracers Tantalus, Icarus, Phaeton and Ixion - having offended the Gods through arrogance and disrespect - falling to their punishment, tumbling down to earth or being cast into Hades.
Goltzius may well have intended The Four Disgracers as a well-disguised, yet eloquent commentary on current political events: At the time the Netherlands were under Spanish rule and Philip II was an unpopular, absent, Catholic monarch with little sympathy for the largely Protestant Netherlands. In the summer of 1588, Philip had launched his mighty Armada against the English and failed. As the inscription of a medal, minted by the English after the defeat of the Spanish, read: Flavit Jehovah et Dissipati Sunt ('Jehovah blew with His wind and they were scattered'). The allegory is clear: just like the Four Disgracers, Philip too had fallen from grace, God had turned against the Catholic king and in favour of the Protestants.
The theme of The Four Disgracers also presented an irresistible formal challenge: the depiction of nude, muscular bodies in the most unusual viewpoints and positions. Through the use of extreme foreshortening and drastically swollen lines, Goltzius created a sense of unlimited movement and space - Phaeton seemingly comes crashing through the picture plane and the viewer is drawn into the image, almost plunging with Ixion into the depth of Hades. Goltzius' Four Disgracers are undoubtedly his most radical compositions and arguably the epitome of Northern Mannerist printmaking.
