The Narcissus Mosaic Pavement from The House of Narcissus

Phase II
Written By Hilary Gallito

My focus has been on the Narcissus mosaic from the House of Narcissus, which the Baltimore Museum of Art now collects. I have made a Storymap by ArcGIS talking about the excavation and conservation of this special mosaic panel and its parallels to other artworks depicting Narcissus. The story of Narcissus in Greek mythology and the conflict of illusional light sources in this mosaic are also discussed.
