EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Arthur Hughes' masterpiece, "Ophelia" painted in 1852. The oil on canvas artwork measures 68.7x123.8 cm and is housed at the Manchester Art Gallery in the UK. Hughes's portrayal of Ophelia, a character from William Shakespeare's play Hamlet, captures her essence with remarkable detail and emotion. Sitting by the stream, surrounded by a serene woodland setting, Ophelia appears both ethereal and troubled. Her delicate crown of reeds adorns her head as she gazes into the distance. The painting beautifully depicts Ophelia's descent into madness, symbolized by her disheveled appearance and vacant expression. The artist masterfully uses light and color to create an atmosphere that evokes both melancholy and tranquility. As part of the Pre-Raphaelite movement, Hughes pays meticulous attention to every element in this composition - from the flowing water to the intricate details of each flower surrounding Ophelia. This print allows art enthusiasts to bring home a piece of history while appreciating Hughes' exceptional talent for capturing complex emotions through his brushstrokes.
