The artwork, titled “Narcissus,” was created by the artist Roberto Ferri in Italy in the year 2017. This piece belongs to the Neo-baroque and Kitsch art movements, and it is classified as a mythological painting.
The artwork depicts a dramatically posed, muscular male figure, nude and crouching, with a cloth wrapped around his head, covering his eyes. He appears to be holding a large, circular frame or instrument, and the background is adorned with twisted, gnarled branches, contributing to a somber and mysterious atmosphere. The detailed and realistic rendering of the figure’s anatomy, combined with the classic mythological subject matter, aligns with the extravagant and emotive characteristics typical of the Neo-baroque movement.
