"Narcissus" is a 2017 painting by Italian artist Roberto Ferri (b. 1978). The piece depicts the Greek mythological figure of Narcissus, known for his vanity and obsession with his reflection. Ferri's rendition showcases Narcissus in a pose of self-absorption, his face obscured by a white cloth, as he gazes upon his own reflection, captured within a circular frame. This contemporary take on the classical myth invites viewers to contemplate the enduring themes of vanity and self-love.
