Painted by John Everett Millais between 1851 and 1852, 'Ophelia' depicts the drowning of Hamlet's beloved from Shakespeare's play, her body floating among the wild flowers of a Surrey riverbank. Millais painted the landscape outdoors over five months along the Hogsmill River, and the figure from the model Elizabeth Siddal, who famously posed in a bathtub of warm water. One of the most reproduced images of Pre-Raphaelite painting, it is a signature work of Tate Britain.
