Le Poète Et La Sirène, 1893 

"Le Poète Et La Sirène" (The Poet and the Mermaid) is a symbolic painting by French Symbolist artist Gustave Moreau, created in 1893. The painting depicts a nude mermaid, a symbol of the seductive and dangerous allure of the unknown, offering a wreath to a fallen, seemingly dead poet. The painting's rich colors and dramatic composition are characteristic of Moreau's style, known for its lush sensuality and fascination with mythological and literary themes. It exemplifies the Symbolist movement's rejection of realism in favor of suggestive imagery and emotional impact.
