Is narcissism a primary quality for an artist?
Without narcissism, could an artist experience aesthetic and poetic stimuli?

According to the elegant exhibition The Portrait of the Artist. In the Mirror of Narcissus. The Face, the Mask, the Selfie - curated by Cristina Acidini, Fernando Mazzocca, Francesco Parisi, and Paola Refice at the Museo Civico San Domenico in Forlì - the answer is definitive: narcissism is an undeniably and irrefutably inspiring genius.

The Civic Museum of Pesaro is a treasure chest of prestigious artworks.

The first hall is monumental due to the impressive presence of a large altarpiece, full of light and noble colour. It is the Coronation of the Virgin Mary between Saint Paul, Saint Peter, Saint Francis of Assisi and Saint Jerome or the Pesaro Altarpiece. The 262 × 240 cm altarpiece was created around 1472-1475 by the painter Giovanni Bellini, born and died in Venice.
