EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection showcases a scene inspired by the mythological tale of Narcissus. In this particular image, Narcissus can be seen gazing into a cave at his own reflection in the water, completely enamored by what he sees. The backdrop of a majestic mountain landscape adds to the ethereal beauty of the composition. Part of a larger series titled "Narcissus Scene Emblems Opened Serve Painters" this print is part 2 and is one of many prints that make up three distinct parts. With a total of 23,17, and 20 prints respectively in each part, these emblems serve as visual representations that tell different aspects of Narcissus' story. Created using etching techniques on paper between 1688 and 1700 in Dordrecht, this artwork bears mention to Arnold Houbraken as its creator. It captures the moment when Narcissus falls deeply in love with his own reflection while gazing into a fountain. Perhaps hidden within this scene is also Echo, the nymph who secretly observes it all unfold. The intricate details and delicate craftsmanship make this print an exquisite addition to any art collection or display. Its timeless depiction invites viewers to reflect upon themes such as vanity, self-obsession, and unrequited love - topics that remain relevant even centuries after their inception.
