The painting is "The Fallen Angel" by French artist Alexandre Cabanel.
Painted in 1847, the artwork depicts Lucifer after being cast out of Heaven. (Lucifer is perhaps the ultimate symbolic representation of the highest level of narcissism - and the entire Dark Tetrad traits - imaginable.)
Cabanel was 24 years old when he painted it, and it is now housed at the Musée Fabre in Montpellier, France.
The painting is known for its depiction of Lucifer with a mix of anguish and defiant pride, with a single tear visible on his face. (Narcissists are not just highly angry. They’re simultaneously incredibly sad in equal proportion.)
