"The Narcissus was discovered in August 1862 in a humble Pompeian house and was displayed soon afterward in the Museo Nazionale. The statue was quickly acclaimed as a masterpiece – the 'pearl' of the Neapolitan collection. It was the last antique statue to be discovered in Italy which enjoyed enormous fame, and the last antique statue to be discovered anywhere which has been extensively copied. The Narcissus was eminently suitable in size [63 cm, or roughly half life-size] to adorn modest gardens and interiors and it seems always to have been copied both in the same size and in the same medium. . . . Giuseppe Fiorelli, director of the Museum between 1863 and 1875, named the 'Narcissus' doubtless because its attitude seemed equally appropriate for the attentive lover of Echo, rapt by her faint repetitions, as for someone enchanted with his own reflection, but by the end of the century it was considered that the crown of ivy and the nebrid could only be suitable for Dionysius."
