Narcissus (after Boltraffio)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Narcissus (c. 1500)

Narcissus is a c. 1500 painting of Narcissus by a follower of Giovanni Antonio Boltraffio, Leonardo da Vinci's collaborator in Milan. It is now in the National Gallery, London.[1] It is a copy after Narcissus at the Fountain, an autograph work by Boltraffio now in the Uffizi.[2] Unusually it shows the subject in modern dress and with a pile rather than the more usual pond or fountain, probably a pentimento
