Mermaid (Stuck)

A sublime encounter between two worlds, “Mermaid” by Franz von Stuck is magnified by an extremely panoramic format that stretches the horizon. On a fine sandy shore, a naked young man, lying at full length, stretches his arms out with a fascinated smile towards a mysterious aquatic creature. Emerging from the dark waters, the mermaid with tousled red hair and a scaly tail shimmering in orange and green, contemplates him with a wild and penetrating curiosity. The erotic tension and the poetry of the unknown emanate from this silent face-to-face encounter. The soft palette of beige sand tones contrasts with the dark blue of the sea, creating a dreamlike atmosphere specific to the bewitching symbolism of the Bavarian painter.
