''Narcissus and Echo'' is a renowned oil on canvas painting by the French Baroque artist Nicolas Poussin, created circa 1630. The artwork, measuring 74 cm by 100 cm, is housed in the Louvre Museum in Paris, France. This painting is one of Poussin's early works and exemplifies his classical style, which was heavily influenced by the art and literature of ancient Rome and the Renaissance.

The painting depicts the tragic mythological tale of Narcissus and Echo, as recounted by the Roman poet Ovid in his work ''Metamorphoses''. The story revolves around the beautiful youth Narcissus, who falls in love with his own reflection in a pool of water, and the nymph Echo, who is cursed to only repeat the words of others and pines away for the love of Narcissus.

In ''Narcissus and Echo'', Poussin masterfully captures the moment of Narcissus's self-absorption and Echo's despair. Narcissus is portrayed leaning over the water, entranced by his reflection, while Echo is shown in the background, her figure fading into the rocky landscape, symbolizing her diminishing form. The composition, with its clear delineation of figures and the use of light to highlight the main subjects, demonstrates Poussin's skill in storytelling through visual means.

Poussin's treatment of the theme reflects his intellectual approach to painting, where he sought to evoke the emotional and moral aspects of the stories he depicted. The painting is a fine example of Poussin's ability to convey complex narratives and is celebrated for its emotional depth, balanced composition, and the artist's meticulous attention to detail.

''Narcissus and Echo'' is considered an important work in Poussin's oeuvre and contributes significantly to the understanding of the classical influences that shaped the Baroque period in European art. Its presence in the Louvre Museum ensures that it remains accessible to the public and continues to be studied and admired by art enthusiasts and scholars alike.
