Ophelia
The artist
John Everett Millais, a British painter who loved bright colors and tiny natural details.
What you see
A young woman floats peacefully on a quiet stream, surrounded by flowers and green plants.
The story
Painted around 1851, it shows Ophelia, a gentle character from a Shakespeare play, resting among the water plants.
The style
Millais painted every leaf and petal so carefully that the scene looks almost like a real garden by a river.
Look closer
Look for the many real flowers, like poppies and daisies, each one painted true to life from nature.
Where to see it
You can visit this painting at Tate Britain, a famous art museum in London.
Fun fact
The model posed in a bathtub of water for hours, so the painter added lamps underneath to keep her warm.
