## Commentary

The painting shows a a view of the Bay of Naples with the figures of Narcissus and Echo in the foreground. The present painting is both topographical and neo-classically anecdotal, as in so many paintings executed at this period by More. The story depicted in the foreground is taken from Ovid \(Metamorphoses III\).
