I don't think "ass" is quite the word for this one. This strikes me as the kind of artwork that temeah enjoyed creating in college.....:D

I really like that one. The use of light especially.
Are nymphs good or bad? Looks like they are taking advantage of that shipwreck. Or are they responsible for it? I'm sure I could look it up.

3. Sirens were the ones who caused wrecks. |
|
I think the nymphs just hung out waiting for free beers.

4. One has a harp, there is a ship crashing into the rocks, and they're all enjoying treasure |
|
seemingly from previous ships.. I'll say that this is about the Sirens.
Excellent painting, thanks for posting it.
