Summary
| Description |
English: This classical statue is after the antique Narcissus and was created by an unknown artist around 1870. The young male is perhaps the legendary Narcissus of Greek mythology as he stares downward at his reflection in an unseen pool of water. In the early to mid 19th century, establishment of a republican government in the U.S. patterned on Greek and Roman principles helped spur a revival of interest in classical forms and ideas in the fine arts. |
