The document summarizes John Everett Millais' famous 1851-52 painting "Ophelia", which depicts Shakespeare's character Ophelia from Hamlet drifting in a stream before her death by drowning. The painting is one of the most widely referenced depictions of Ophelia in modern art, film, fashion and popular culture. It helped cement Ophelia as a romantic subject that continues to inspire creative works today.

1. Ophelia, by the English artist John Everett Millais, is perhaps the
most famous and bewitching depiction of Hamlet’s scorned young
lover, right before she drowned herself in a stream.
Modern art, fashion, films, photography and popular culture widely refer
to Millais’ painting. It was completed between 1851-2.
