This print showcases the renowned painting "Narcissus" created by Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio between 1598 and 1599. Housed in the esteemed Collection of Palazzo Barberini in Rome, this masterpiece exemplifies the essence of Baroque art. Caravaggio's interpretation of the Greek mythological figure Narcissus is a testament to his exceptional talent as a painter.
