"Narcissus" is a 1912 painting by the British Pre-Raphaelite artist John William Waterhouse, depicting the mythological figure Narcissus from Greek mythology. The painting portrays the young, handsome Narcissus gazing at his own reflection in a pool of water, entranced by the beauty he sees. This moment captures the story from Ovid's "Metamorphoses," where Narcissus, having spurned the love of the nymph Echo, falls in love with his own reflection and is unable to leave the allure of his image, ultimately leading to his demise.

Waterhouse's interpretation of the Narcissus myth is rendered in his characteristic style, which combines classical subject matter with a Pre-Raphaelite attention to detail and rich, vibrant color. The painting is a testament to Waterhouse's fascination with themes of beauty, mythology, and the tragic consequences of human folly. The figure of Narcissus is depicted with a sense of melancholic beauty, surrounded by a lush landscape that both complements and contrasts with the theme of self-absorption and the ephemeral nature of beauty.

"Narcissus" is part of a series of works by Waterhouse that explore similar mythological themes, showcasing his enduring interest in the legends of ancient Greece and Rome. The painting is emblematic of the late Pre-Raphaelite movement's enduring legacy in British art, blending romanticism with a neoclassical approach to subject and form. As with many of Waterhouse's works, "Narcissus" has been celebrated for its evocative portrayal of myth and its exquisite execution, securing the artist's place as one of the most prominent painters of the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
