Painting of the Italian painter Caravaggio “Narcissus by the stream”. The size of the picture is 110 x 92 cm, canvas, oil. Caravaggio in his art acts as a bold innovator, challenging the aesthetic standards of his era.
The artist makes a hero of his works from a street crowd – a Roman teenager or a young man, endowed with a coarse sensual beauty and naturalness of mindlessly cheerful life; the hero of Karavaggio’s paintings appears in the role of a musician, then in the image of a simple-minded card player, then as a thoughtless dandy who listens to a wicked fortuneteller, then in the guise of Narcissus or a young man with the attributes of the ancient god Bacchus.
