| "Icarus and the Bathers" 42" x 54" Oil on Canvas Synopsis: Lowe’s work reinvents Fuseli’s drawing The Fall of Icarus and Bathing Women, c.1795. The mythical fall, dramatized by Fuseli, has been further exaggerated by Lowe. Lowe’s Icarus is a free copy after an etching of the same name by Hendrik Goltzius, c.1588. This anatomically proportioned figure contrasts the illustratively |
| painted bathing women. The fleshed-out Indian page has been referenced from Anthony Van Dyck’s William Feilding 1st Earl of Denbigh, c.1633-34. The young page, originally gesturing to a perched native bird, now directs the viewer’s eye to the fall. |
