The Many Faces of Ophelia
Tumblr media
John Everett Millais • Ophelia • 1851–52 • Tate Britain, London
Millais's painting depicts Ophelia, a character from William Shakespeare's play Hamlet, singing before she drowns in a river.
Tumblr media
Pierre Auguste Cot ( French, 1837-1883) • Ophelia (Pause for Thought) • 1870 • Private collection
Another haunting version of Ophelia belongs to the French portraitist Pierre Auguste Cot, well-known for his portraits and romantic scenes. The painting is not a direct illustration of Hamlet, but rather a glimpse into the dark and terrifying mind of Ophelia after Hamlet refused to marry her and then killed her father Polonius. What might seem to be an innocent look of a young maiden, looks downright creepy and unsettling, hinting at Ophelia’s soon-to-come decision to take her own life out of grief and madness.
Tumblr media
Odilon Redon (French, 1840-1916) • Ophelia Among the Flowers • c. 1905-08 • National Gallery, London
Redon’s version of the story is in no way an illustration of the original text written by Shakespeare, but rather a dreamlike impression of it.
Tumblr media
Ophelia • Sarah Bernhardt • 1880
Sarah Bernhardt's version, perhaps too idealized to be a direct reference to Shakespeare’s text but nevertheless has one important feature. If we look at the photographs of Bernhardt, we can recognize her own facial features in her depiction of Ophelia. In fact, Bernhardt did play Ophelia on stage in 1886, only six years after making the piece. During the production, she insisted on developing her role further. Instead of the death of Ophelia being indicated by a closed coffin carried out to the stage, Bernhardt was brought to the public, playing a lifeless body herself.
Tumblr media
Paul Albert Steck ( 1866-1924) • Ophelia • 1895 • Musées de Paris
Tumblr media
John William Waterhouse (British) • Ophelia • 1910 • Private collection
"Her clothes, stretched out, carrying her like a nymph; which time she chanted snatches of songs he sang as if knew not troubles or was born in the element of water; so to last could not, and apparel, hard upivshis, unhappy from the sounds of dragged into the quagmire of death." ~William Shakespeare, Hamlet
Tumblr media
Paul Delaroche (French, 1797-1856) • La Jeune Martyre (The Young Martyr/Ophelia) • 1855 • Musée du Louvre, Paris
Tumblr media
Alexandre Cabanel (1823–1889) • Ophelia • 1883 • Private collection.

I sketched this awhile back when Flynn (Nevermore's artist) redrew a classical painting with Lenore and Annabel and I was like "wow that sounds like sm fun I wanna do that!" and um... it was harder then I expected! So I kinda sat on the sketch for a few months and finally finished it today!
The painting this is based on is Springtime by Pierre Auguste Cot!

anyways wanna hear gen info abt alexandre cabanel my favie artist in the whole wide world (he is dead) well too bad ur gonna hear abt him!!!! (specifically his mini war with the church)(i am writing this from memory i am so sorry if i butcher any facts)
his work is generally that of the 'academic' art style bc at 16 or 17 (i dont rember which) he started art school and trained under this dude named picot who was another famous painter at the time :] there he learned academic style and made his way making a variety of religious paintings to appease the church....... cabanel later became a professor there and taught some other famous artists like pierre auguste cot (my second fav artist) and henri regnault!!!!!!
cabanel is probably most famous nowadays for his painting the fallen angel [l'ange déchu] which is below!!!!! it depicts lucifer upon falling from heaven looking heartbroken and enraged while the rest of the angels in heaven rejoice over his exile
Tumblr media
i personally adore this piece!!! a lot!!!!!!!! but anyways this painting ^ got him into suuuuper hot water bc at the time, everyone was very strict abt catholicism and it was not epic to be painting lucifer in a sympathetic way!!! he went from pretty accepted in the art world to everyone hating him and he did not like that!!!!!!!
as a result, cabanel bounced back by painting the death of moses 3 years later to enforce his loyalty to the church and religious painting LMFAO. here it is below!!! it is also a very famous piece of his!!!!!!!!
Tumblr media
after this he was accepted For The Most Part in the pretentious french art community :3 and i love his works very much however he drew mostly naked women so ur gonna have to look them up urself HSAHABAHJHSDGKJA heres 2 non naked favs tho :D

I’m so sad that those two separate artists deleted their art but the arts were eremika in Sprintime by Pierre Auguste Cot and The kiss by Gustav Klimt.
I’ve checked twitter to see those fanarts again but sadly they were deleted 🥹 those fanarts are magnificent fr! changed the trajectory of my life
AWW WHAT? THEY GOT DELETED? BOOOO!
i really loved those pieces too! that makes me so sad!

I discovered the painting first because I googled paintings about love, and it immediately left me stunned. It’s just breathtakingly beautiful and captures the love between the two people so well. Pierre Auguste Cot is truly a wonderful artist and painter, though. His style is so soft.
