Ophelia
1883
19世紀フランス美術界の頂点に立った、アカデミック絵画を代表する巨匠。
Beneath a weeping willow, symbolizing sorrow, a young maiden slips towards the water's surface.
Her golden-embroidered silk dress floating on the water, and the scattered flowers from her garland, possess a cruel beauty.
She is Ophelia, the heroine of Shakespeare's tragedy, Hamlet.
This is the famous scene where, driven to madness by the profound grief of losing her beloved father, she meets her tragic end.
