This bronze is a circa 1880 casting of the original of the Narcissus figure which was discovered in 1862 in a nondescript house in Pompeii. It was the last antique statue unearthed upon the discovery of Pompeii. In a book sponsored by Chiurazzi & Fils, the secretary of the Naples Museum, Luigi Conforti, it was described as “the most beautiful bronze ever to have been discovered at Pompeii.”. The piece has been set upon a circular base with decorated mouldings. It is one of only a few casts of this model where the eyes have been opened up giving the bronze mysterious look often seen in classical bronzes. ~ Narcissus ~ In Greek mythology, Narcissus (/nɑːrˈsɪsəs/; Greek: Νάρκισσος, Nárkissos) was a hunter from Thespiae in Boeotia who was known for his beauty. He was the son of the river god Cephissus and nymph Liriope. He was proud, in that he disdained those who loved him. Nemesis noticed this behavior and attracted Narcissus to a pool, where he saw his own reflection in the water and fell in love with it, not realizing it was merely an image. Unable to leave the beauty of his reflection, Narcissus lost his will to live. He stared at his reflection until he died. Narcissus is the origin of the term narcissism, a fixation with oneself and one's physical appearance. ~ Dimensions ~ The statue has a height of 15 inches (38.1 cm), the base has a diameter of 6.5 inches (16.5 cm). It weighs 3.12 Kg. ~ Condition ~ The statue shows signs of its age, as it has a slightly rubbed patina of beautiful green across the body showing the bleed.
