"The Siren" is a painting by Sir Edward John Poynter (1836–1919), a British painter, designer, and draughtsman who served as the President of the Royal Academy. Created in 1864, this work is an oil on canvas that exemplifies the Victorian fascination with classical mythology and literature, a theme that Poynter often explored in his art. The painting depicts the mythological creature known as a siren, a being from Greek mythology said to lure sailors to their doom with their enchanting music and voices.

In Poynter's interpretation, the siren is portrayed amidst a rocky seascape, a common setting for such mythological scenes, which emphasizes the perilous allure of the siren's call. The figure is often depicted with a sense of melancholic beauty, embodying both the allure and the danger that the siren represents. Poynter's attention to detail and his use of color and light reflect his academic training and his commitment to classical subject matter.

"The Siren" is significant as it reflects the broader cultural and artistic trends of the 19th century, where there was a resurgence of interest in classical antiquity, and it contributes to the understanding of how mythological subjects were interpreted by artists of the Victorian era. The painting is also an example of Poynter's skill in combining classical themes with the technical precision of the academic painting tradition.

As a notable work in Poynter's oeuvre, "The Siren" has been discussed in the context of both the artist's body of work and the broader history of Victorian art. It is a testament to Poynter's reputation as a leading figure in British art during the second half of the 19th century and his influence on the artistic tastes of the period. The painting is held in a private collection, and it has been exhibited in various art galleries, contributing to the public's appreciation of Poynter's artistic legacy.
