EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the iconic artwork "Ophelia" engraved by Alfred Smith in 1864. Published by Henry Graves & Co, this engraving beautifully captures the essence of John Everett Millais' original painting. Measuring at 52.7x85.7 cm, it is currently held in a private collection. The image portrays Ophelia, a tragic character from Shakespeare's play Hamlet, floating gracefully on a stream surrounded by wild flowers. The scene depicts her descent into madness and eventual death through drowning. The artist skillfully conveys the themes of fragility, beauty, and melancholy associated with Ophelia's story. The intricate details of this engraving bring to life every aspect of Ophelia's plight - from her flowing garments to the delicate petals adorning the water's surface. It serves as a poignant reminder of human vulnerability and the consequences that can arise from unrequited love and mental anguish. With its Pre-Raphaelite style and profound symbolism, this artwork has become an enduring representation of Shakespearean tragedy. Its inclusion in various collections speaks to its cultural significance and timeless appeal. Displayed here courtesy of Bridgeman Images via eThe Ms Gallery in London, this print allows art enthusiasts worldwide to appreciate Alfred Smith's masterful interpretation of Millais' "Ophelia. "
