Daedalus and Icarus

"Icarus and Daedalus" is by far my favorite sculpture in the Museum of Fine Arts. It's located right in front of the main entrance and the inscription in its base says "United in Glory and Death". The author is Rebeca Matte (1875 - 1929), the first chilean woman sculptor. Nevertheless, this is actually a copy. The original was given as a gift to the Brazilian government and can be found in a park in Rio de Janeiro. Due to its success among Brazilians, the artist's husband decided to make a bronze copy of the statue, which you can see in this picture.
