Ulysses and the Sirens John William Waterhouse Poster
Ulysses and the Sirens by Pre-Raphaelite painter John William Waterhouse, oil on canvas 1891, depicts the dangerous beauties from Greek mythology whose enchanting songs lured passing sailors to shipwreck and death. The hero Ulysses (Odysseus) from Homer’s epic poem The Odyssey had his men plug their ears with beeswax and lash himself to the mast of his ship while passing through the Sirens’ song. Waterhouse depicts the mythical Sirens as enormous black birds with beautiful female heads swarming over a bright azure sea. This painting reflects the pre-Raphaelite painters’ emphasis on brilliant, jewel-like colours in mediaeval and early Renaissance compositional styles, combined here with painterly influences from the schools of Romanticism and Impressionism.

Perfect for my needs. This will be laminated and become the backing print for an Aquarium. Could not ne happier with the product and quality.
I also cannot believe how quickly the print arrived. Colors and quality are fantastic.

While I would certainly have preferred to have this quirky poster framed, for what I could afford, this poster option was great. It looks really good on my wall and I'm sure will draw some interesting comments. I'm very happy with the printing quality and colours.

I was given a small budget to decorate a free clinic. I ordered many of the posters from Zazzle because I could select various sizes that fit frames we could re-purpose. The quality of the printing is fine and there's a wide selection of subjects and styles to choose from. The paper quality on most of the items I ordered was decent. For some reason, though, the Ibis poster on "Perfect Poster (Glossy Finish)" is on very flimsy paper. It'll look fine when framed, but I would upgrade the paper choice if I did this over again. The image quality, colors, and printing quality were fine -exactly what I expected.
