"Echo and Narcissus" is a celebrated oil painting completed in 1903 by the British Pre-Raphaelite artist John William Waterhouse. This artwork is renowned for its intricate depiction of the tragic mythological tale from Ovid's Metamorphoses, showcasing the poignant story of unrequited love and the consequences of vanity. The painting is a masterful representation of Waterhouse's fascination with classical mythology and his ability to imbue his subjects with a sense of romanticism and melancholy.

The composition of "Echo and Narcissus" is meticulously crafted, featuring Narcissus, a beautiful youth who falls in love with his own reflection, and Echo, a nymph cursed to only repeat the words of others, who pines away for the love of Narcissus. Waterhouse's use of vibrant colors and his attention to detail in the natural surroundings, as well as the emotional expressions of the characters, create a vivid and immersive scene. The painting is a testament to Waterhouse's skill in blending classical themes with his unique artistic style, characterized by its dreamy quality and the emphasis on beauty and tragedy.

"Echo and Narcissus" is part of Waterhouse's broader oeuvre, which often explored themes from ancient mythology and literature, reflecting the Pre-Raphaelite movement's interest in narrative art and the natural world. The painting is held in high regard for its aesthetic beauty and its thoughtful interpretation of myth, making it a significant work in the study of late 19th and early 20th-century British art. It remains a compelling example of how ancient stories can be reimagined and given new life through the medium of painting, resonating with audiences for its exploration of love, loss, and the human condition.
