"Ophelia" is an oil painting by the French artist Alexandre Cabanel, completed in 1883. The artwork is a representation of the tragic character Ophelia from William Shakespeare's play "Hamlet." Cabanel, known for his academic style and as a leading figure in the French academic system, captures the moment of Ophelia's demise as she is overcome by the waters of a river, a scene that has captivated artists for centuries.

The painting depicts Ophelia floating in the water, surrounded by lush foliage and flowers, with a serene yet melancholic expression on her face, embodying the romanticized vision of death prevalent in the art and literature of the time. Cabanel's rendition is noted for its refined brushwork, delicate color palette, and the ethereal quality he imparts to the figure of Ophelia, which aligns with the academic art standards of idealized beauty and technical precision.

"Ophelia" by Cabanel is part of a larger tradition of 19th-century art that found inspiration in literary subjects, particularly those involving themes of love, death, and madness. The painting not only reflects Cabanel's mastery of the academic style but also illustrates the era's fascination with Shakespearean drama and its enduring influence on the visual arts. This work is an example of how the Pre-Raphaelite movement's focus on literary themes and nature's detailed depiction had permeated the broader artistic community in Europe.

As of the knowledge cutoff date, the painting is part of a private collection or housed in a museum, and it continues to be a subject of interest for scholars studying the intersection of visual arts and literature, as well as those examining the legacy of academic painting in the late 19th century.
