EDITORS COMMENTS
This work of art, titled "Sirene renversée soufflant dans une conque" (Reclining Siren Blowing into a Conch Shell), is a stunning creation by the French artist Jean Francis Auburtin (1866-1930). Auburtin was a master of allegorical painting, and this piece is no exception. The image depicts a nude female figure, identified as a Siren, reclining on a rocky shore. With an enchanting expression on her face, she blows into a conch shell, her long, flowing hair cascading down around her. The Sirens were mythological creatures from Greek mythology, known for their enchanting voices that could lure sailors to their doom. Auburtin's interpretation of the Siren is both seductive and melancholic, as she seems lost in thought, her gaze fixed on the horizon. The painting is executed in gouache and pastel on paper, giving it a delicate and ethereal quality. The landscape behind the Siren is equally captivating, with rolling hills, a tranquil sea, and a full moon rising in the background. Auburtin's use of color and light creates a dreamlike atmosphere, transporting the viewer to a world of myth and magic. Surrounding the Siren are other figures from Greek mythology, including Maenads, Naiads, Nereids, and other nymphs. These mythological beings add to the sense of enchantment and otherworldliness, making this a truly mesmerizing work of art. This exquisite piece is part of a private collection, a testament to its enduring beauty and significance in the world of fine art. Auburtin's "Sirene renversée soufflant dans une conque" is a masterful blend of allegory, literature, and mythology, and a must-see for anyone interested in the rich history of French art.
