"The First Madness of Ophelia" is a watercolor painting by the English artist Dante Gabriel Rossetti, a prominent figure of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, which was completed in 1864. The artwork is part of a series of representations by various artists that depict Ophelia, a character from William Shakespeare's tragedy "Hamlet," during her descent into madness. Rossetti's interpretation is particularly notable for its intense emotional expression and its departure from the more commonly depicted scene of Ophelia's death by drowning.

In Rossetti's watercolor, Ophelia is portrayed in an interior setting, a significant deviation from the riverside scenes typical of other artists' renditions. The focus is on her psychological turmoil rather than her physical plight. Ophelia is shown with loose, flowing hair and a vacant gaze, suggesting her detachment from reality. The rich, vibrant colors and intricate details, characteristic of Rossetti's work, contribute to the painting's dramatic and poignant atmosphere.

The painting reflects Rossetti's fascination with Shakespearean themes and his interest in exploring the inner lives of his subjects. "The First Madness of Ophelia" is a testament to Rossetti's skill in capturing complex emotional states and his contribution to the visual arts of the Victorian era. The work is held in high regard for its artistic merit and as an example of the Pre-Raphaelite movement's enduring legacy in the interpretation of literary subjects.
