"Narcissus, 1881" is a painting by the Hungarian artist Gyula Benczúr, known for his historical and mythological works. The painting depicts the well-known Greek mythological figure Narcissus, who was renowned for his beauty and his tragic fate. According to the myth, Narcissus was so enamored with his own reflection in a pool of water that he was unable to leave the sight of his image, ultimately leading to his death. Benczúr's interpretation of this classic tale is a testament to his skill in portraying the human figure and his ability to imbue his subjects with a sense of drama and emotion.

Created during the 19th century, a period that saw a resurgence of interest in classical themes and narratives, Benczúr's "Narcissus" reflects the era's romanticized view of ancient myths. The painting is characterized by its fine detail, rich color palette, and the artist's adept use of light and shadow to create a lifelike representation of the young man entranced by his own reflection. Benczúr's work is often noted for its academic style, and "Narcissus" is no exception, showcasing the artist's dedication to idealized beauty and technical precision.

While the painting itself is a significant work within Benczúr's oeuvre, it also stands as an example of the broader 19th-century European art movement that embraced neoclassicism and romanticism. "Narcissus, 1881" not only captures the essence of its mythological subject but also serves as a reflection of the cultural and artistic values of its time. The painting is an important piece within the context of Hungarian art history and continues to be appreciated for its aesthetic qualities and its representation of a timeless mythological narrative.
