"The Blind Prophet Tiresias with the Baby Narcissus" is a Baroque painting completed after 1666 by the Italian artist Giulio Carpioni. Carpioni, known for his dynamic compositions and a penchant for mythological and allegorical subjects, was a prominent figure in the Venetian school of painting during the 17th century. This painting depicts the blind prophet Tiresias, a recurrent figure in Greek mythology, known for his wisdom and clairvoyance, holding the infant Narcissus, who would later become famous for his beauty and his tragic fate of falling in love with his own reflection.

The artwork is a rich tableau of symbolism and foreshadowing, combining the themes of prophetic insight and the vanity that ultimately leads to Narcissus's demise. Carpioni's use of chiaroscuro and his delicate handling of color nuances enhance the dramatic effect of the scene, while the interaction between the figures invites viewers to ponder the interplay of knowledge and beauty, destiny and self-absorption.

"The Blind Prophet Tiresias with the Baby Narcissus" is a testament to Carpioni's mastery of the Baroque style and his ability to weave complex narratives into his works. The painting is not only significant for its artistic merit but also as a cultural artifact that reflects the values and interests of 17th-century Italian society, particularly its fascination with classical antiquity. This work remains an important piece within Carpioni's oeuvre, contributing to our understanding of the period's artistic trends and the enduring appeal of mythological subjects in European art.
