The marine encounter and poetic atmosphere of The Fisherman and the Mermaid
In this composition signed by Charles Haslewood Shannon, the scene juxtaposes the tranquility of the shoreline with the emergence of a fabulous element: the mermaid. The palette features muted and pearled tones, blending deep blues, marine greens, and warm accents that highlight the skin and reflections. The brushwork is precise, almost engraved, and the spatial arrangement emphasizes the intimate relationship between the human figure and the mythical creature, creating a restrained tension. Diffused light and the movement of draped fabrics enhance an atmosphere that is both melancholic and mysterious.
