Forbidden Fruit
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating photographic print after the renowned painting by Sir John Everett Millais, R.A. (1829-1896). The image, created by Charles Waltner around 1880, is a testament to the enduring appeal of Millais' original work, which was painted between 1851 and 1852. The photographic print depicts a young girl, dressed in a simple smock, sitting on the edge of a chair with her hands in her lap. Her hair is tied back with a white ribbon, and she wears a red and white hairband. Her posture is relaxed, yet her profile reveals a thoughtful expression, as if she is lost in deep contemplation. In her lap rests a small basket filled with ripe apples. One apple, the forbidden fruit, is conspicuously missing. Millais' original painting, titled "Ophelia," was actually inspired by a passage from Shakespeare's "Hamlet," in which Ophelia, driven mad by her lover's rejection, drowns herself while picking flowers by the riverbank. However, the image of the girl with the apples became a popular subject in its own right, and Waltner's photographic interpretation captures the essence of the painting's haunting beauty. The photograph, published by J.S. Virtue & Co Ltd in London, is a stunning example of the artistry and skill of both Millais and Waltner. The monochromatic palette adds an air of timelessness and mystery to the image, making it a must-have for any serious art or photography collection. Whether appreciated for its historical significance or its aesthetic value, "Forbidden Fruit" is a photograph that continues to captivate and inspire.
