"Ophelia
Millais set his Ophelia in the Hogsmill River in Surrey"
I wonder what it is that is so intriguing about Ophelia. The nunnery scene reveals a deep understanding that she had about Hamlet and the world they suffered in. Here are some facts regarding this famous painting:
"Ophelia, John Everett Millais's bewitching depiction of Hamlet's sweetheart sinking to a watery death, is one of the most familiar images in art.
It has adorned the walls of the Tate for most of the 110 years since the gallery opened, attracting millions of viewers to admire its forensic detail - and buy the postcard, which remains a runaway bestseller in the gallery shops.
As the painting takes centre stage in a new Tate exhibition of Millais's work, here's an alternative guide to some of the lesser known facts about his masterpiece. "
