Housed in the Galleria Nazionale d'Arte Antica in Rome, Italy, this painting by Caravaggio is a masterpiece of the Baroque era. The subject of this painting is the fictional character Narcissus, a handsome young man who fell in love with his own reflection and died of passion as he was unable to tear himself away. This melancholic painting conveys a similar sense of tragedy, with Narcissus trapped by his reflection with all else shrouded in darkness, hinting at how impending tragedy was to be his only reality.
