EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Christina Nilsson, a renowned Swedish opera singer, embodying the tragic character of Ophelia in Alexandre Cabanel's painting. Captured in oil on canvas in 1873, this masterpiece measures 153x90 cm and is housed at the National Museum in Stockholm. Christina Nilsson enchants viewers with her ethereal beauty as she assumes the role of Ophelia from Shakespeare's Hamlet. Dressed in an exquisite costume that transports us to the fictional world of literature, she stands on the shore of a river, surrounded by delicate flowers. The artist skillfully captures both her fragility and strength through his brushstrokes. Nilsson's portrayal evokes a sense of melancholy and vulnerability that resonates with audiences even today. Her expressive gaze hints at the inner turmoil experienced by Ophelia as she navigates love and madness. This painting serves as a testament to Cabanel's ability to capture emotion and tell stories through his art. As we admire this remarkable piece, we are transported back to 19th century Scandinavia where music meets visual art. Christina Nilsson en Ophelie is not only a tribute to one of Sweden's most celebrated singers but also an homage to Shakespearean tragedy brought vividly to life on canvas.
