About the piece
Created in 1900, this striking oil painting by Hans Thoma portrays two mermen with muscular human upper bodies and scaled, fish-like tails. The figures are set against a turbulent sea and a heavy, overcast sky, demonstrating Thoma's interest in mythological themes and his vigorous, painterly style that blends realism with symbolism.
