EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolitho print titled "Hamlet: Ophelia" transports us to the dramatic world of Shakespeare's tragic play. Created by an anonymous European School artist in the 19th century, this artwork captures a pivotal moment in the story. The image depicts Ophelia, one of literature's most iconic characters, immersed in water surrounded by vibrant flowers. This scene represents her untimely demise and descent into madness. The artist skillfully portrays her delicate beauty and fragile state of mind through intricate details and vivid colors. The theatrical nature of this print is evident as it was originally produced as a Liebig card during the late 19th or early 20th century. These collectible cards were often included with food products and served as promotional items for various themes such as famous operas like Ambroise Thomas' "Hamlet". The Italian influence on this artwork is apparent not only through its subject matter but also through references to rosemary, a symbol of remembrance in Italian culture. Additionally, the presence of an Italian flag hints at Italy's deep appreciation for Shakespearean works. As part of the Rosenberg Collection held privately, this print offers a glimpse into Europe's enduring fascination with William Shakespeare's plays. It serves as a testament to how his timeless stories continue to captivate audiences across generations and borders. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable piece from Fine Art Finder, allowing us to appreciate its historical significance while immersing ourselves in the tragic tale of Hamlet
