Mermaid Art

Mermaids were mentioned for the first time in Assyria, with the legends stating that a Goddess chose to transform herself into such a creature after killing her lover by mistake. The Greeks picked up on the stories and many legends involving sailors and long voyages included mermaids. That’s why, they are usually associated to the surroundings, shipwrecks and floods, an image conveyed by the Framed Mermaid Art. In other cultures, mermaids have benevolent nature and go out of their way to help humans in need, while sometimes falling in love with him.

The moderate presentations of mermaids are slightly different and the Framed Mermaid Art celebrating the central character in Christian Andersen’s The Little mermaid is a shining example. They would make an excellent addition to nurseries and kids’ rooms as they portray the mythological creatures in a positive light. On the other hand, art lovers who have a keen eye for beauty and an interest for mermaids will find John William Waterhouse’s painting to be the perfect addition to their collection.
