"Ophelia and Laertes" is a painting by the British artist Maurice William Greiffenhagen, who was active during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Greiffenhagen, born in London in 1862, was a prominent figure in the art world, known for his evocative and often dramatic compositions. He was a member of the Royal Academy and contributed significantly to the visual arts during his career.

The painting "Ophelia and Laertes" draws its subject matter from William Shakespeare's tragedy "Hamlet," specifically focusing on the relationship between the characters Ophelia and her brother Laertes. In the play, Ophelia is a tragic figure who descends into madness following the death of her father, Polonius, and the complex machinations of the Danish court. Laertes, her brother, is a passionate and impulsive character who seeks to avenge their father's death.

Greiffenhagen's interpretation of these characters is marked by his attention to emotional depth and psychological complexity. The painting captures a poignant moment between the siblings, highlighting the themes of grief, loyalty, and familial bonds that are central to their story. Greiffenhagen's use of color, light, and composition serves to enhance the emotional intensity of the scene, drawing the viewer into the tragic world of Shakespeare's play.

The artist's skillful rendering of the figures and their expressions showcases his ability to convey nuanced emotions and intricate human relationships. "Ophelia and Laertes" stands as a testament to Greiffenhagen's talent and his ability to bring literary characters to life through his art. The painting remains an important work within his oeuvre and continues to be appreciated for its artistic and literary significance.
