Mermaids have been the chosen subjects of artists as diverse as Munch, Waterhouse, Beardsley, Pyle, Rubens, and Bosch. Even Magritte could not resist a version of the mermaid--though he switched ends placing a fish's head on a woman's body.
Writers, too, have yielded to the call of the sirens. Shakespeare mentioned mermaids and sirens repeatedly in his work, while Yeats, Eliot, Wilde, Barry, and Baum welcomed them into their own colorful poems and tales. Following in this imaginative and whimsical tradition are the mermaids of David Delamare. We hope you enjoy them. Each of the Delamare images below is available as a print and/or greeting card. (Some also appear on porcelain lights and all of them may now be ordered as custom tile murals!) To view a larger image and product options just click on the small image.

Since once I sat upon a promontory
And heard a mermaid on a dolphin's back
Uttering such dulcet and harmonious breath
That the rude sea grew civil at her song
And certain stars shot madly from their spheres
To hear the sea-maid's music?"
--From Shakespeare's Midsummer Night's Dream
