5.0 out of 5 stars From The Deep Waters, January 2, 2001
By "tksweaver" (Florida, USA) - See all my reviews
I spent many hours searching in libraries and book stores for just this type of art book. A spectacular collection of paintings from various well-known artists - a 'must have' for any lover of art! I create and weave my own tapestry designs and am always looking for different types of art books. This one will satisfy my needs for years to come. The color reproductions are true - no 'dulling' of colors due to the printing process. The observations and comments at the end of the book are not only worth reading but quite thought provoking. Buy this book!

5.0 out of 5 stars An artistry magic into the death of Ophelia..., July 15, 1998
I've read the book once and each of its images captured my imagination. I'm impressed by the romantic ways in which the artists bring out their fascinating subjects. You never imagined that the tragic death of Shakespeare's Ophelia could be so beautiful and breath-taking. It's certainly a book worth keeping, especially for the romantic art lovers.

5.0 out of 5 stars THE ILLISTRATIONS WILL CAPTURE YOUR IMAGINATION., May 11, 1998
By A Customer
After just looking through the book it was very hard for me to forget the images. They are so beautiful. These are the kind of drawings that bring myths and legends to life. These drawings want to make you believe that there were such mythical creatures as Medusa, Nymths,and mermaids.Just by looking at one picture of these works of art makes you wish that the artist would have painted more just like it. It's a must see book.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not Enough Mermaid Images
There are only 7 mermaid paintings in this book, given the title I thought there would be many more; the book is nearly 100 pages. Read more

I was really under the impression there were more mermaids in this book. There's only a few, really. I just wish I'd known before adding it to my wishlist, that's all. Read more
