Title: Siren's Song
My First Impressions:
At first glance I see a group of women on a beach having what looks like a party they see a ship with a man tied to the mast the sailors in the ship seem not to notice the man tied to the mast. The women seem to want the sailors to come to shore they look like they might be stuck on the beach and want to be rescued.
What I Learned:
I learned that this is a recreation of Homer's "The Odyssey" specifically about the sirens who would sing songs that made sailors crazy and suicidal. The recreation is very interesting because none of the sirens look like they are singing they all look like they are dancing. The painting is very interesting to me I do not know why.
