The answer is:

A. Brueghel's painting focuses on the people of the coast rather than Icarus.

In "The Story of Daedalus and Icarus," by Ovid, Daedalus escapes with his son Icarus by making wings out of feathers glued with bees wax. Icarus ignores his father's warning and flies close to the sun, so the bees wax melts and he falls into the sea.

The painting by Brueghel depicts a landscape with a few people working and Icarus plunging in the water in the background. However, it does not include Daedalus, who reaches his destination and survives in Ovid's story.
