Mermaids have been the chosen subjects of artists as diverse as
Munch, Waterhouse, Delvaux, Varo, and many, many others. Many could
not resist a painting the mermaid.
Writers, like painters
have also surrendered to the call of the mermaids and sirens. Even
Shakespeare talked about mermaids in his work
Following in this imaginative
and whimsical tradition are the mermaids and fairies of David Delamare
along with Nigel Suckling have created a most beautiful book. This
is one of the most seductive books of fantasy art has to offer.
It features the beauty of the mermaid and its sinister cousin, the
siren. These mermaids have captured the imagination of many artists
down the years but only a few have captured its magic as effectively
as Delamare. His flawless technique, combined with originality is
the base for some of the most beautiful illustrations found in the
world of fantasy art.
This book is very a masterpiece
and can be enjoyed if you six or sixty. The team of David Delamare
and Nigel Suckling is like the team of Batman and Robin, you can't
have one without the other.
