This painting, Metamorphosis of Narcissus, is one of Dali's more popular ones. It is called this after the mythology about Narcissus. The myth goes that Narcissus would fall in love with no woman, and had love for no one. But one day he was directed toward a pond, saw his own reflection and fell in love with himself. He eventually leaned too close to the water and drowned. The flower which is named after him bloomed where he laid dead. This painting clearly depicts the myth with the double images of the persons looking in the pond, one which is decayed symbolizing his death, and the other which has the flower growing out of it.
