Ulysses and the Sirens by John William Waterhouse Table Lamp
Ulysses and the Sirens (1891) by JW Waterhouse is a vintage Victorian Pre-Raphaelite fine art mythological painting.
In Greek mythology, the Sirens (Seirenes) were Naiads, or sea nymphs, who lived on an island called Sirenum scopuli which was surrounded by rocks and cliffs. Approaching sailors were drawn to them by their enchanting singing, causing them to sail on the cliffs and drown.
Odysseus escaped the Sirens by having all his sailors plug their ears with beeswax and tie him to the mast. He was curious as to what the Sirens sounded like. When he heard their beautiful song, he ordered the sailors to untie him but they ignored him. When they had passed out of earshot, Odysseus stopped thrashing about and calmed down, and was released.
About the artist:

I have purchased other similar lamps. I use them as extra light for guest's. They are inexpensive, easy to assemble and good height for reading. I like that there are many pre-made shades to choose from and that, like this one, you can use your own art.
The only "con" is that the shade does heat, even with specified bulb. I would not leave it on all night. Printing is great. My granddaughter will be happy to see her artwork on her bedside table. The art does not cover the entire shade, but the background that shows can be matched easily.

Perfect. Perfect. Perfect. It was everything and more than I expected my daughter loved it. As a matter of fact my husband ruined it and we ended up ordering another 1 because she loved it so much. There was no printing involved on this unless you are talking about the design on the lamp then it was exquisite

Exactly as ordered. Fast shipping. Good packaging including the unpacking instructions. Printing is precisely spaced and aligned. Colors exactly reproduced from my 4 photos. Linen shade and white base. Norfolk Southern ES-44 diesel locomotive blasting through snowbank in 2002. 3 neat, somewhat unusual railroad signals, including wig-wag signal (upper left).
