The lure of the siren, the comeliness of the mermaid, the elegiac beauty of Ophelia - in page after page of captivating paintings by such artists as J.W. Waterhouse, Frederick Lord Leighton, Gustav Klimt, Edward Burne-Jones, and other Pre-Raphaelites, this volume takes a mystical journey into the deep waters where romantic art flows together with female enigma and timeless mystery. These sensuous images - many inspired by literary scenes from the likes of Homer's Odyssey, Mallory's Morte d'Arthur, and Tennyson's Lady of Shalott - seduce the eye and beguile the mind.
