EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases John William Waterhouse's masterpiece, "Ophelia, 1894". Painted in oil on canvas, this iconic piece measures 124.4x73.6 cm and is held in a private collection. The photograph itself was taken by eChristies Images and is courtesy of Bridgeman Images. Waterhouse's portrayal of Ophelia captures the essence of Shakespeare's tragic character from Hamlet. In this profile view, we witness Ophelia immersed in despair as she floats among water lilies with her long red hair flowing around her like a vibrant halo. Daisies adorn her head while she clutches a garland made of these delicate flowers. The artist masterfully depicts Ophelia's madness and heartbreak through his use of color and brushstrokes. The serene yet melancholic atmosphere evokes both beauty and sorrow simultaneously. Waterhouse's attention to detail is evident in every aspect of the painting – from the intricate rendering of each individual flower to the subtle play between light and shadow on Ophelia’s face. This print allows us to appreciate the timeless allure of this renowned artwork, reminding us once again why Waterhouse remains one of history's most celebrated painters.
