The serene scene of a mermaid mother and her children, depicted with flowing lines, delicate details, and a dreamlike atmosphere, evokes a sense of tranquility and otherworldly charm. Burne-Jones’s distinctive style, with its emphasis on beauty, mythology, and romanticism, is perfectly suited to this subject.

Did you know? While the classic image of a mermaid is a beautiful woman with a fish tail, depictions of mermaids in art and folklore have varied significantly throughout history and across cultures. In some early depictions, mermaids were portrayed as more monstrous or grotesque figures, sometimes with bird-like features or multiple tails. These less idealized depictions often symbolized the dangers of the sea and the unknown depths of the ocean. The romanticized image of the beautiful mermaid, prevalent in much of Western art, became more popular during the Renaissance and Romantic periods.
