Metamorphosis of Narcissus (1937) is an oil-on-canvas painting by the Spanish surrealist Salvador DalÃ. This painting is from DalÃ's Paranoiac-critical period. According to Greek mythology, Narcissus fell in love with his own reflection in a pool. Unable to embrace the watery image, he pined away, and the gods immortalized him as a flower. Dalà completed this painting in 1937 on his long awaited return to Paris after having had great success in the United States.
The painting shows Narcissus sitting in a pool, gazing down. Not far away there is a decaying stone figure which corresponds closely to him but is perceived quite differently; as a hand holding up a bulb or egg from which a Narcissus is growing. The egg has been used as a symbol for sexuality in other paintings by DalÃ. In the background, a group of naked figures can be seen, while a third Narcissus like figure appears on the horizon.
