“Three intertwined sirens sing; each of a different stature and pose, they form an uneven group, staggered like pan pipes,” an art critic Gustave Geffroy wrote. The popularity of this model was long-lived: eighteen copies are known, four of which are in marble – like this one.
Honthorst was greatly influenced by the art of Caravaggio. He combined the Italian artist’s dramatic light contrasts with a naturalism in his choice of subjects and their presentation.
