Narcissus
National Gallery of Ancient Art in Palazzo Barberini
This painting shows the myth of the young Narcissus who looks at himself in the water, admiring his own beauty: falling into the water, he becomes the flower of the same name (Ovid, Metamorphoses). The scene is set in the clearing of a forest, allowing Tintoretto to play with the various degrees of light penetrating the trees.
