About the piece

Painted in 1908 by the American visionary Louis Eilshemius, 'Sirens of the Sea' is a dreamlike exploration of myth and atmosphere. The work features ethereal figures set against a dark, nocturnal landscape of craggy cliffs and glowing architectural silhouettes, all bathed in the soft light of a crescent moon.
