Ophelia by John Everett Millais

Ophelia (1851)

John Everett Millais | Pre-Raphaelite | Oil on canvas

This dreamlike painting shows Ophelia, a character from Shakespeare's Hamlet, floating in a stream surrounded by beautiful flowers. Many of the flowers have special meanings in the Victorian 'language of flowers'!

Did you know? The model, Elizabeth Siddal, lay in a bathtub of water in Millais's studio. The oil lamps under the tub that kept the water warm went out, she caught a bad cold, and her father demanded money for the doctor!
