About the Artwork

He fell—not from grace, but from glory burned too bright. Draper’s Lament for Icarus coils across this iPhone case in molten sepia, a requiem where myth and muscle collapse into seafoam. His limbs—bronzed, broken—are caught in the hush of mourning nymphs, whose touch is part elegy, part tide. There is no rescue. Only reverence.

This is mythological art rendered through a Victorian lens—lush, aching, precise. A Herbert Draper iPhone case for those who study classical mythology not as fable, but as fate. The 19th century allegorical painting becomes personal here: a tragic hero whose wax ambition was liquefied by sun and sorrow.

Each curve of wing, each threadbare net clinging to his hip, carries the visual weight of the Lament for Icarus. For the collector, the scholar, the keeper of symbolic ruins, this Victorian painting phone case is more than adornment—it’s a vessel for hubris as prayer, hope as transcendence, and the blistering heat of impossible ascents.

Artist Biography

English painter Herbert James Draper unfurled mythologies where beauty floated between ecstasy and elegy. Born in 1863 London, Draper drank deep from the wells of Neoclassicism, breathing Victorian longing into ancient fables.

His figures—glistening nymphs, fallen gods, drowned sirens—glow with a fleshly idealism tinged by Edwardian melancholy. Draper’s brush wove sensuality into solemn grandeur, resurrecting Greek myths as private dreams of desire and loss.

Educated at the Royal Academy of Arts, Herbert James Draper created visions lush enough to haunt marble and mortal alike. His paintings, luminous and grieving, remain timeless spells of yearning stitched into the fabric of Tate Britain’s walls.
