# In the Sea, in Switzerland

Arnold Böcklin painted this in 1883, aged 56. It is now at the Art Institute of Chicago.

From the museum's label:

> Böcklin’s art had little in common with Impressionism or the academic art of his time. Instead, his depictions of demigods in naturalistic settings interpret themes from Classical mythology.
