"Ophelia" (c. 1851) by Sir John Everett Millais is one of the most famous and hauntingly beautiful paintings of the 19th century. Depicting the tragic character from Shakespeare’s Hamlet, this oil painting captures Ophelia floating in a river, moments before her untimely death. Millais' meticulous attention to detail, from the lush, natural surroundings to the delicate flowers, creates a scene of both beauty and sorrow. The serene expression on Ophelia’s face contrasts with the tragic nature of her fate, enhancing the emotional depth of the work. Renowned for its realistic style and vibrant colors, "Ophelia" is a masterpiece of the Pre-Raphaelite movement, evoking a sense of melancholy and timeless beauty.
