Icaro is a limited edition bronze sculpture by Italian artist Raffaella Benetti. For the creation of this piece, Benetti drew inspiration from Icarus, a character in ancient Greek mythology. According to his story, Icarus tried to fly to the sun with wings of wax. Blinded by hubris, he ignored the fact that his wings would melt before reaching the sun. The artwork Icaro consists of a bronze figurine accompanied by two delicate wings lying behind it.
The definition of luxury is always in flux. Different eras in history and different cultures have always valued the bronze material above all else. Bronze sculptures are not just beautiful but tell a wider story of craftmanship and authenticity.
