EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolitho print titled "Narcissus" transports viewers into the realm of Greek mythology. Created by an anonymous French artist in the 19th century, this artwork is now part of a private collection. The image showcases Narcissus, a figure from ancient stories and a symbol deeply rooted in Greek culture. The narcissus flower, also known as daffodil or jonquil, takes center stage in this representation. Its delicate petals and vibrant colors serve as reminders of the plant's mythological significance. According to ancient tales, Narcissus was a young man who fell deeply in love with his own reflection while gazing into a pool of water. This tragic story has become one of the most popular myths worldwide. The print captures both the allure and melancholy associated with Narcissus' metamorphosis. It evokes feelings of introspection and contemplation as we ponder our own reflections within its intricate details. The city fountain depicted adds an element of realism to this mythical scene, blurring the lines between fantasy and reality. Throughout history, various religions have incorporated elements from Greek mythology into their beliefs. Paganism and polytheism are among these religious practices that find inspiration in ancient stories like that of Narcissus. Bridgeman Images presents this remarkable artwork for us to admire and reflect upon its rich cultural heritage. As we delve into its depths, we are reminded not only of our fascination with beauty but also our capacity for self-reflection – qualities
