Narcissism -Caravaggio 1594-1596

Have you every wondered where the term Narcissism came from... well according to a Greek fairytale, there was a very handsome young Greek boy named Narcissus who was so enchanted by his own reflection that he feel into a pool of water and was then turned into a Narcissus flower by the Greek Gods as punishment. The narcissus flower is otherwise know as the Daffodil. Pretty interesting fairytale if you ask me.
