About this product
In The Water Sprite, also known as Näcken, Ernst Josephson combined Nordic folklore with Renaissance painting and the French symbolism of the late 19th century.
In old Norse tales, Näcken was a destructive spirit who wandered through wild wetlands, playing music on the fiddle and, siren-like, luring people to their deaths. The image therefore symbolizes the hidden dangers of nature, but Näcken's story also served as a personal allegory for Josephson's own sense of isolation.
The artist's skillful and sensual use of color is evident in this painting.
Can be ordered either as a poster or canvas.
