wiggy that isn't brueghel's icarus!
this is:
it's a really beautiful painting. for a bigger version, http://www.artchive.com/artchive/b/bruegel/icarus.jpg.
that link you put up - what painting is it supposed to be? i don't claim to have a particularly well-trained eye either but it looks like a mess to me. and i googled "fall of icarus" and mostly you only get this one, so it's quite strange that you found some other painting...
ah wait i found the one you were looking at, by Ger Lataster. it says "Lataster is known as an abstract expressionist, for whom the recognizability of the motif becomes steadily subordinate to the emotion evoked by the total image." huh. the only emotion that painting provoked was distressed confusion. is that appropriate? i guess abstract expressionism isn't my thing at all.
