Victorian Art in Britain

  Echo and Narcissus  by J W Waterhouse

 

 
Painted in 1903. This large picture is extremely famous and has been reproduced time without number. Echo looks lovingly at the vain and totally self-absorbed Narcissus. Echo shown in profile, is the painter’s familiar model of the time. Both her face and figure are wonderfully realised, and her flesh- tones are marvelous, something which really sets the artist apart from his contemporaries. The trees, river, and sky are also superbly done, and produce a harmonious composition. .
