Ulysses and the Sirens by Herbert Draper

Educa (Spain, 2002) No. 11758.

2.000 pcs, 96 x 68 cm.

 

Herbert James Draper (1863(or 1864)–1920) was an English painter in the Victorian era. In the mythological subject area his paintings include Lament for Icarus, Ulysses and the Sirens, The Sea Maiden, The Kelpie, and The Vintage Morn. Herbert Draper had, in his lifetime, a considerable reputation, which declined rapidly, probably before his death. It is difficult to find much information about Draper the man, though it is a matter of record he attended the funeral of Waterhouse, his close neighbour, in 1917. His residence in St John’s Wood attests to his material success.
