in death's shadow
teeming water
Ophelia
Ophelia
life seeps out
shades of life
Ophelia
nonchalant as death
the spring water
Ophelia
in shades of death
the water disperses
in shades of death
the water teems with life
Ophelia
Ophelia
shades of of life
seep into water
Ophelia is a painting by British artist Sir John Everett Millais, and was completed in 1852. Currently held in the Tate Britain in London, it depicts Ophelia, a character from Shakespeare's play Hamlet, singing while drowning in a river in Denmark. Although not universally acclaimed when it was first exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1852, the painting has come to be admired for its beauty and the highly-accurate depiction of a natural landscape. It has been valued by experts at at least £30 million. - (wikipedia.com)
