Relief with Narcissus (Narcisse)At a pool where he leaned upon the water Narcissus saw himself in the bloom of youth. Narcissus did not realize it was merely his own reflection and fell deeply in love with it; as if it was somebody else. Unable to leave the allure of his image; he eventually realized that his love could not be reciprocated and he melted away from the fire of passion burning inside him; eventually turning into a gold and white flower.60-79 AD (fourth style)StuccoFrom Stabia (Italy) Pompeii.
