Narcissus is a painting by the Italian Baroque master Caravaggio, painted circa 1597–1599. It is housed in the Galleria Nazionale d’Arte Antica in Rome.  It is thought to capture the story of Echo and Narcissus in Greek mythology.   Echo’s ability to speak was taken away and she could only respond to questions. Narcissus fell in love with his own image.

This is a modern interpretation:

Faucissus
