Artist's Description
Sir Edward Poynter, a well respected English painter, became director of the National Gallery and was elected president of the Royal Academy. He did not merely make studies from live models for every figure in his paintings but also did studies of a skeleton in the pose.
Despite the unpopularity of nudes at the time, he did not shrink from painting them. Nor did he hold back from glorifying sensuality.
The young women in "Cave of the Storm Nymphs" are clearly enjoying treasures from a destroyed ship.
Could they be sirens?
(Excerpt from the book "Revisiting the Classics.")
This print has been featured in the Center for Photographic Arts '2013 Juried Exhibition,' Peoria Illinois Art Guild's 'Nude Attitude,' and the Vermont, Darkroom Gallery's 'Skin.'
About Don McCunn
I am a photographer/costumer raised in the San Francisco Bay Area. I hold a BS in theatre from the University of Texas at Austin and an MA in theatre from UCSB. For me photography is theatre at 1/60th of a second. It gives me particular pleasure to work with talented models to create original imagery inspired by fine art that has been enjoyed for centuries.
