English: A drawing of a Pompeii fresco depicting Narcissus gazing at his own reflection found in a modest structure behind the building erected by Eumachia by Henri Roux Ainé, 1870. Translated related text: This painting, pendant to the preceding one, but much less worthy of praise, represents Narcissus, who, tired of the hunt, comes to seek rest in a deserted valley, on the edge of a stream whose crystal waves flow together, clearing a passage between the rocks. The unhappy young man, seated on one of the banks of the water, his arm leaning on the other bank, sees his image reflected in the liquid mirror. Struck by his own beauty, he becomes enamored with it, and soon he will die victim of a passion that nothing can satisfy. A striking allegory of the dangers of self-love, and above all of a very stupid kind of self-love, the physical love of oneself; after this ridicule, we know only one more absurd and stranger still, ridiculousness which was not known in primitive times, but which was reserved for Athens and Rome, as well as for modern Europe. It is the love a man conceives, no longer for his face or his body, but for his clothes. Narcissus does not yet go that far: he is not in love with his violet cloak, his hunter's staff and his crown of foliage with elegant bands; he is in love with his face, which really isn't too bad.
The landscape is treated in a pleasant way; but the drawing contains a rather strange mistake: in the situation where Narcissus is placed, it is impossible for us to see his face repeated so close to him; each point in the image should drop below the water as the object rises above it. In the vignette, we see on the red background a fluted column streaked with gold, carrying a cubic-shaped object which seems to be a cassette: a palm is attached to it by a green strip, and alludes to another similar strip; against the shaft leans a cimbalom with its ordinary ribbons; and beside it, a golden tripod seems to contain a liqueur, perhaps wine. These are some of the attributes of Bacchus-Osiris, presiding no doubt over certain athletic or dramatic exercises. Identifier: herculanumetpomp18703barr (find matches) |
