EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolitho print captures a pivotal moment in Shakespeare's timeless tragedy, Hamlet. Act IV, Scene 7 comes to life through the skilled artistry of the English School from the 19th century. The scene depicts Ophelia, adorned with garlands of flowers and lost in her madness, standing by a serene stream. The artist's attention to detail is evident as they depict Ophelia surrounded by delicate flowers such as daisies and nettles. The stream itself is portrayed as glassy and calm, reflecting the beauty of nature that contrasts with Ophelia's tormented state of mind. As we gaze upon this enchanting image, we can almost hear the haunting words spoken by Ophelia during this scene. We witness her descent into madness after losing her father and being rejected by Hamlet. The crow perched nearby adds an eerie touch to this already fantastical setting. This print was originally created for John C Murdoch's publication "The Complete Works of Shakespeare" in 1877 and beautifully illustrated by Kronheim & Co. It now resides within a private collection but has been made available for all to appreciate thanks to Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder. Through this artwork, we are reminded once again why Shakespeare's plays continue to captivate audiences centuries later - their ability to explore complex emotions like love, loss, and madness remains unparalleled in English literature.
