A masterful copy by Johnnie Liliedahl of John W. Waterhouse's 3rd painting of Ophelia. Original painting available.
The artist J.W. Waterhouse painted three versions of Ophelia, all of which portray her in various stages before her death. Waterhouse’s final depiction of Ophelia in 1910 is by far the most dramatic. As in the others, the others she is adorned with flowers and long reddish brown hair, but this Ophelia differs drastically from the other two representations. Waterhouse portrays a much more mature and womanly Ophelia in this painting. A voluptuous young woman in blue and crimson gown replaces the virginal white dress and girlish figure that was previously employed by Waterhouse. She stands in the forefront occupying most of the pictorial space, gazing right at the viewer .Her penetrating stare and reddened cheeks effectively express her state of despair. Her hand rests on the tree as to balance herself before she steps into the water. The two subjects in the background look on, unaware as Ophelia presses on towards her fate.
