Painting Description
"Echo and Narcissus" is a renowned oil painting completed in 1903 by the British Pre-Raphaelite artist John William Waterhouse. The artwork is a visual representation of the tale from Ovid's Metamorphoses, which narrates the tragic story of the nymph Echo and the handsome youth Narcissus. Waterhouse's painting is a testament to his fascination with classical mythology and his ability to infuse these ancient narratives with a sense of romanticism and emotional depth.
The painting depicts the moment when Narcissus, known for his extraordinary beauty, becomes entranced by his own reflection in a pool of water, unable to leave the captivating sight. Beside him, the nymph Echo, who has been cursed by the goddess Hera to only repeat the words of others, looks on hopelessly, as she is deeply in love with Narcissus but unable to express her feelings due to her curse. Waterhouse's work captures the poignancy of unrequited love and the peril of self-obsession.
Measuring 109.2 by 189.2 centimeters, "Echo and Narcissus" is characterized by Waterhouse's meticulous attention to detail, from the reflection of Narcissus in the water to the lush, verdant landscape that surrounds the figures. The artist's use of color and light enhances the ethereal quality of the scene, while the figures' expressions convey the narrative's emotional intensity.
The painting is part of the collection at the Walker Art Gallery in Liverpool, England, where it continues to be admired for its technical mastery and its evocative portrayal of mythological themes. "Echo and Narcissus" remains a significant work within Waterhouse's oeuvre and is a prime example of the Pre-Raphaelite movement's enduring legacy in British art history.
