According to the myth this comes from, he fell for his own reflection and couldn't tear himself away — stared until he wasted away by the water. Apparently there's been debate for years over whether this one's actually by Caravaggio at all.

Erisava: Feels like he wants you looking at the shirt, not his own reflection. What's your take?
