EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Meerestille (Calm Sea)", we are transported to a serene and mysterious world created by the renowned artist Arnold Bocklin. Painted in 1886-87, this oil on panel masterpiece measures 103x150 cm and is housed in the Kunstmuseum in Bern, Switzerland. The painting depicts a mesmerizing scene where a female figure with fiery red hair stands upon a rocky shore. She exudes an air of both beauty and danger, embodying the allure of the femme fatale archetype. Surrounding her are graceful seagulls soaring through the calm sea breeze, their wings gliding effortlessly against the azure sky. As our eyes wander further into this enchanting composition, we notice an unexpected presence - a sea snake slithering gracefully across the water's surface. Its sinuous form adds an element of intrigue and symbolism to this already enigmatic piece. But perhaps most intriguingly, nestled amidst the rocks lies a mermaid gazing longingly towards us. With her half-human, half-fish form, she represents both mystery and desire; beckoning us to explore deeper into her aquatic realm. Bocklin's masterful use of color and light creates a sense of tranquility that envelops every inch of this painting. The soft hues blend harmoniously with each other, evoking feelings of serenity and introspection within its viewers. "Meerestille (Calm Sea)" is not just another artwork; it is
