The flight and fall of Icarus has given rise to a lot of art:
This is an old favorite of mine, by Pieter Breughel the Elder. You will have to look carefully to notice Icarus' legs disapearing into the water amidst the bustle of daily life.
And a new favorite, by Boris Vallejo. This is by far the most frequently linked image of Icarus on the Internet.
