EDITORS COMMENTS
Horrors, my wife!" exclaims the surprised and dismayed husband in Webster Murray's captivating 1928 painting, "Horrors, my wife!" The scene unfolds beneath the tranquil surface of the deep blue sea, where the husband, clad in a bulky diving suit, is discovered in the midst of an illicit affair with an alluring mermaid. The mermaid, with her long, flowing hair and seductive smile, seems to be relishing the moment as she playfully caresses the husband's helmet. The husband, with his eyes wide in shock and disbelief, is frozen in place, unable to react as his wife, unseen above the water, closes in on the shocking tableau. The fish and other marine life in the background appear to be witnessing the scene with curious, almost amused expressions. This hauntingly beautiful image, with its themes of infidelity, deception, and the unexpected, speaks to the timeless folklore of mermaids and their power to lure unsuspecting sailors to their doom. The painting also serves as a poignant reminder of the potential horrors that can lurk beneath the surface of even the most seemingly stable marriages. Webster Murray's masterful use of color and light adds to the dreamlike quality of the scene, creating a vivid and unforgettable image that continues to captivate viewers nearly a century after it was first painted. The painting is a testament to Murray's skill as a painter and his ability to explore the complexities of human emotions and relationships through the medium of art. Despite the shocking nature of the scene, there is a certain allure and mystery to "Horrors, my wife!" that keeps viewers coming back for more, making it a true classic of the folk lore and art world.
