EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Narcissus, 1882" takes us back to the enchanting world of the 19th century. The image is a reproduction from The Magazine of Art Vol V, published by Cassell, Peter, Galpin and Company in 1882. It features a concept that has intrigued artists for centuries - narcissism. In this monochrome masterpiece, we see a young Spanish boy gazing into a shallow bowl filled with water. His reflection stares back at him as he admires himself with an air of vanity. The artist skillfully captures the essence of narcissism through the child's expression and posture. The setting transports us to the picturesque countryside of Spain, where this scene unfolds. The simplicity of the composition allows us to focus solely on the subject - a reminder that self-obsession knows no boundaries or time periods. Though created by an unknown artist, it is clear that their talent shines through in every brushstroke captured in this print. Vicente Poveda Juan's expertise as a print collector ensures its preservation for generations to come. As we gaze upon this intriguing artwork, we are reminded of our own human nature - our desires for admiration and validation. This thought-provoking piece serves as both a testament to artistic mastery and an exploration into one's innermost thoughts and emotions.
