EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Narcissus At The Fountain" takes us back to the enchanting world of the Middle Ages. Inspired by a 14th-century manuscript romance called "The Rose" this illustration beautifully captures the essence of narcissism and vanity. In this scene, Narcissus, known for his extraordinary beauty, stands before a mesmerizing fountain. His gaze is fixated on his own reflection in the water, completely absorbed by his own image. The artist skillfully portrays Narcissus' self-obsession and infatuation with himself. The medieval setting adds an air of mystique to the composition. The intricate details in the architecture and clothing transport us to a time when such tales were cherished forms of entertainment and enlightenment. This artwork serves as a reminder that narcissism has existed throughout history, transcending time and culture. It invites viewers to reflect upon their own tendencies towards self-absorption or perhaps recognize it in others. Ken Welsh's expert reproduction of Paul Lacroix's original work allows us to appreciate this piece from London 1878 anew. Whether displayed in homes or galleries, this print offers an intriguing glimpse into both art history and human nature itself - forever entwined with themes like narcissism and vanity across different ages.
