EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Narcisse, a young man infatuated with his own reflection. In this representation from Pierre Blanchard's "Mythology of Youth" we witness Narcissus constantly gazing at himself, consumed by his self-love. The French School of the 19th century beautifully depicts this mythological character who became synonymous with narcissism. Narcissus stands near an arc, symbolizing both his haughtiness and vulnerability. His arm reaches out towards his reflection as if trying to grasp it, showcasing his obsession and longing for self-admiration. Cupid's arrow hovers above him, representing the power love has over even the most self-absorbed individuals. The artist Stefano Bianchetti expertly brings this mythological figure to life through intricate engravings and vibrant colors. The gleam in Narcisse's eyes reflects both vanity and introspection as he becomes lost in his own image. This artwork not only explores themes of narcissism but also delves into broader concepts such as capital sins and Greek mythology. It serves as a reminder of how our obsession with ourselves can lead to our downfall. Displayed in a private collection, this print invites viewers to ponder upon their own reflections and contemplate the dangers of excessive self-love. As we gaze upon Narcisse admiring himself endlessly, we are reminded that true beauty lies beyond mere appearances – it resides within one's soul.
