In Pieter Brueghel's painting Landscape with the Fall of Icarus, Icarus' drowning takes place close to the shore.

Landscape with the Fall of Icarus is a painting in oil on canvas. It was painted by the Dutch painter Pieter Brueghel in the 1550s and it is part of Dutch and Flemish Renaissance painting. A poem also called "Landscape with the Fall of Icarus# was written by William Carlos Williams in response to this painting. This work of art presents Icarus, the son of the creator of the Labyrinth in Greek mythology, drowning near to the shore, while everyone else in the painting keeps focused on their jobs.
