The Mermaids - Gustav Klimt

Gustav Klimt's painting The Mermaids transports the viewer into a dreamlike world populated by mythical creatures. The mermaids are represented in an unconventional way, by a black elongated form with a human face. The work is characterised by a dark colour palette. The golden accents that dot the canvas are reminiscent of Klimt's own symbolist and decorative aesthetic.
