"Narcissus and Echo" is a renowned painting by the Italian artist Placido Costanzi, which vividly portrays the tragic mythological tale of 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 for him in vain. Created in the 18th century, this artwork is a quintessential example of the Rococo style, characterized by its elaborate and ornate qualities, as well as its emphasis on themes of love and mythology.

The painting captures the moment of Narcissus's self-absorption as he gazes into the water, entranced by his own image, while Echo looks on from a distance, her expression filled with longing and despair. Costanzi's masterful use of color and light highlights the contrast between the two figures, underscoring the emotional distance and unrequited love that defines their relationship.

Placido Costanzi (1698–1754) was an Italian painter and engraver of the late Baroque period, who was known for his religious and mythological scenes. Born in Rome, he became a prominent artist in the Papal States, receiving commissions from various churches and members of the aristocracy. "Narcissus and Echo" remains one of his most celebrated works, often cited for its dramatic interpretation of the myth and its exquisite execution.

The painting not only reflects the artistic trends of its time but also serves as a cultural artifact that offers insight into the 18th-century fascination with classical antiquity and the moral lessons derived from mythological narratives. Today, "Narcissus and Echo" is appreciated not only for its aesthetic beauty but also for its place within the broader context of European art history, representing the enduring legacy of Greco-Roman mythology in Western art.
