teddy Posted June 4, 2007 Report Share Posted June 4, 2007 I had to help my daughter with a project on Icarus yesterday. Whilst searching the net, I came across the famous painting, The Fall of Icarus by Brueghel and remembered back over 20 years ago when I did my art A level thesis on him, I remember studying this painting for hours trying to find the answer.

teddy Posted June 4, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2007 The answer is that the man dressed in a red jacket carrying the tray in the right of the painting has 3 legs. It has also been proved that the other man carrying the tray would actually fall over backwards in the position he is in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
