zlove+FollowCan we face death calmly?In Shakespeare's Hamlet, Ophelia's sadness, madness, and death were favorite themes of British Pre-Raphaelite artists. This work depicts Ophelia's final moments. She slowly approaches the lake, looks back, and sings her last song. The painter Arthur Hughes was skilled at capturing the subtle details of nature and the emotional fluctuations of characters, so his depiction of facial expressions is particularly delicate. However, I cannot discern any trace of fear or anxiety on Ophelia's face in this painting; instead, she accepts her fate with remarkable calmness, with only a hint of reluctance in her eyes. #Entertainment#Painting#Death#Calmness 11378Share
