About this work

You see a painting of a farmer plowing a field, with a ship in the background. The farmer is focused on his work, unaware of the drama unfolding in the distance. This scene is interesting because it shows everyday life continuing despite a tragic event, like the fall of Icarus. Check out the work of artist Pieter Brueghel I to learn more about this style.
