Friday Featured Art: Ophelia

We visited the Tate Britain while we were in London, and two of my favorite pieces were out on loan. But, we were able to see Millais' famous depiction of Ophelia. It is very beautiful and was regarded as the most accurate nature study of its day. The model is Lizzie Siddal, wife of Dante Gabriel Rossetti.
