The Many Faces of Ophelia

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.

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.

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.

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.

Paul Albert Steck ( 1866-1924) • Ophelia • 1895 • Musées de Paris

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

Paul Delaroche (French, 1797-1856) • La Jeune Martyre (The Young Martyr/Ophelia) • 1855 • Musée du Louvre, Paris

Alexandre Cabanel (1823–1889) • Ophelia • 1883 • Private collection.
