The Metamorphosis of Narcissus is a renowned painting by Salvador Dalí, completed in 1937. It is inspired by the myth of Narcissus, a figure from Greek mythology known for his obsession with his own reflection. The painting depicts two central figures: Narcissus, kneeling by a pool and gazing at his reflection, and a distorted, fragmented version of himself emerging as a hand holding an egg. The imagery symbolizes the transformation and self-obsession of Narcissus. Dalí's painting combines elements of Surrealism with meticulous detail, evoking a dreamlike and symbolic atmosphere. The Metamorphosis of Narcissus is an introspective exploration of identity, self-perception, and the psychological complexities of human nature.
