EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Narcissus in love with his own reflection, 1655" by Michel de Marolles takes us back to the enchanting world of Greek mythology. This engraving, found in the collection of Jean Claude Carriere, beautifully captures the essence of Narcissus' obsession with his own beauty. In this seventeenth-century artwork, we witness a mesmerizing scene unfold. Narcissus, a handsome young man from ancient Greece, stands beside a tranquil pool surrounded by lush trees and nature's serenity. His gaze is transfixed upon his own reflection shimmering on the water's surface. As an allegorical figure representing self-love and vanity, Narcissus appears completely absorbed in his own image. Cupid's bow and arrow lie idle at his side as he remains oblivious to everything else around him - even the loyal dog faithfully standing nearby. This print evokes deep contemplation about our human fascination with beauty and its power to captivate us entirely. It serves as a timeless reminder that excessive self-obsession can blind us to the wonders of the world beyond ourselves. Through this monochrome masterpiece created by Michel de Marolles in 1655 France, we are transported into an era where art was used not only for aesthetic pleasure but also as a medium for introspection and moral lessons.
