Abstract
The cause for the writing of this paper is the statue on hold in the castle Drašković in Daruvar, which had been attributed in various ways in scientific literature. Following the basic premise, this work will gather and analyze all Roman sculptures which depict the mythical Icarus from Antiquity, with the aim of analyzing the iconography of Icarus' representations in sculpture. Furthermore, possible differences in the sculptural iconography and in other various forms of representation of Icarus will also be analyzed. Likewise, a typology of its sculptural representations will try to be established. With the help of the iconographic analysis, we will be able to finally attribute the statue from Daruvar, determine which type of representation it belongs to, and chronologically date it more precisely.
