EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Achilles Forcart's masterpiece, "Narcissus overheard nymphs" painted in 1867. Measuring 100 x 81.5 cm, this oil on canvas artwork showcases Forcart's exceptional talent and attention to detail. The painting depicts the Greek mythological figure Narcissus as he gazes into a tranquil pool of water, completely absorbed by his own reflection. Unbeknownst to him, a group of nymphs gracefully hover above him, their delicate presence adding an ethereal touch to the scene. Forcart's brushwork is exquisite, capturing every nuance of light and shadow with remarkable precision. The composition exudes a sense of serenity and introspection while emphasizing Narcissus' obsession with himself. In the lower right corner, we find Forcart's signature along with the date: AFORCART 1867 [AF ligated]. Born in Basel in 1840 and passing away there in 1895, Forcart was known for his ability to breathe life into classical mythology through his art. This print allows us to appreciate not only Forcart's technical skill but also his profound understanding of human nature. It serves as a timeless reminder that self-absorption can blind us from recognizing beauty beyond our own reflections—a cautionary tale beautifully captured on canvas by Achilles Forcart.
