Narcissus — Caravaggio

Caravaggio’s Narcissus, dated 1597–1599, portrays the figure from Greek mythology absorbed by his own reflection in a dark, still pool. The artist’s dramatic chiaroscuro and concentrated composition heighten the scene’s psychological intensity, transforming the ancient tale into a compelling meditation on beauty, desire, and self-absorption. Characteristic of the emerging Baroque period, the work combines striking naturalism with a profound sense of theatrical stillness. This museum-inspired reproduction honours the sombre atmosphere and visual power of the original artwork. Printed as a premium matte fine-art print on 200 gsm paper, it brings Caravaggio’s haunting mythological vision into interiors shaped by reflection and an appreciation of Old Master art.
