stub for later treatment?

worth comparing for its bombast with the Waterhouse�s �Ulysses and the Sirens�

images/SirensWaterhouse.jpg

Waterhouse puts in 7 sirens; Ewerhard has 3 (the classical number?)

Waterhouse�s sirens are depicted as harpies, as are Ewerrhard�s; but W�s are �clothed�

Waterhouse�s seascape is relatively serene, while Ewerhard�s is tempestuous

Herbert James Draper — 0741OdysseusSirens_Draper.htm — has three mermaids on a slightly tempestuous sea

There could be some connection. Indeed �an undisputable nod to Draper� (http://www.mythimedia.org/symphonyx.htm)

Ewerhard�s painting is a sort of conglomeration of these two fin de siecle conceits.

Ewerhard has his own website
