"Ophelia" is a painting by the British artist John Byam Liston Shaw, commonly known as Byam Shaw. Created in 1908, this work is a poignant representation of the tragic character Ophelia from William Shakespeare's play "Hamlet." Byam Shaw, who was known for his Pre-Raphaelite style and meticulous attention to detail, captures the ethereal and melancholic essence of Ophelia in this painting.

The painting depicts Ophelia in a moment of despair, shortly before her tragic death by drowning. Byam Shaw's use of vivid colors and intricate details brings a haunting beauty to the scene. Ophelia is shown surrounded by a lush, almost surreal landscape, filled with flowers and foliage that symbolize her innocence and the fragility of life. Her expression is one of sorrow and resignation, reflecting the emotional turmoil she experiences in the play.

Byam Shaw's "Ophelia" is notable for its adherence to the Pre-Raphaelite principles, emphasizing naturalism, vibrant colors, and complex compositions. The artist's technique involves a careful layering of paint to achieve a luminous quality, which enhances the dreamlike atmosphere of the painting. This work is often compared to John Everett Millais's famous painting of the same subject, yet Byam Shaw's interpretation stands out for its unique emotional depth and stylistic approach.

The painting is part of the collection at the Tate Britain in London, where it continues to be admired for its artistic merit and its evocative portrayal of one of Shakespeare's most tragic heroines. Byam Shaw's "Ophelia" remains a significant work within the Pre-Raphaelite movement and a testament to the enduring power of Shakespearean themes in visual art.
