Solution

The question is asking for a difference between Brueghel's painting "Landscape with the Fall of Icarus" and Ovid's story "The Story of Daedalus and Icarus".

To answer this question, we first need to understand both the painting and the story.

In Ovid's story, Daedalus, a skilled craftsman and inventor, and his son Icarus are trapped on the island of Crete. Daedalus creates wings for them to escape. He warns Icarus not to fly too high, or the sun will melt the wax holding the feathers together. However, Icarus ignores his father's warning, flies too close to the sun, the wax in his wings melts, and he falls into the sea and drowns.

In Brueghel's painting, the focus is not on Icarus but on the surrounding landscape and the people going about their daily lives. Icarus is depicted in the painting, but he is not the central figure. He is shown drowning in the sea in the lower right corner of the painting, almost unnoticed by the other figures.

So, the answer to the question is:

B. Daedalus is missing from the painting.

In Ovid's story, Daedalus is a central character, but in Brueghel's painting, he is not depicted at all. The painting focuses on the landscape and the people, with Icarus' fall being a minor event in the background.
