The Cave of the Storm Nymphs immerses viewers in a dramatic mythological scene, where three sirens gather in a rocky grotto as a ship founders in the storm outside. One strums a golden tortoise-shell lyre while her companions exult, anticipating the treasures and victims the sea will claim. Poynter’s precise academic technique and jewel-toned palette heighten the tension between beauty and danger, creating a sensuous, ominous composition.

Edward Poynter (1836–1919) was a British painter and designer, noted for his grand historical and mythological subjects rendered with meticulous academic skill. His work combines narrative precision with a theatrical sense of color and composition, capturing both drama and beauty in striking, memorable scenes.

Due to variation in monitor settings, finished products may appear different than they do on your screen.

To offer a broad range of sizes, each image is carefully adapted to its canvas dimensions. As a result, slight variations in composition may occur, and some reproductions may differ subtly from the original work.

Our canvases feature mirrored edges to create a seamless wrap-around effect without altering the original image. This effect is more noticeable on smaller canvas sizes.
