"Ophelia" is a painting by the American artist Tompkins Harrison Matteson, created in 1851. Matteson, a prominent figure in the 19th-century American art scene, was known for his historical and genre paintings that often depicted scenes from American history and literature. This particular work draws inspiration from William Shakespeare's tragic play "Hamlet," specifically focusing on the character of Ophelia, a symbol of innocence and tragic beauty.

In "Ophelia," Matteson captures the poignant moment of Ophelia's descent into madness, a theme that has fascinated artists and audiences alike for centuries. The painting portrays Ophelia in a state of emotional turmoil, her expression a mixture of sorrow and detachment. She is depicted surrounded by nature, with flowers and foliage that symbolize her purity and the fragility of her mental state. The use of light and shadow in the painting enhances the dramatic effect, highlighting Ophelia's ethereal beauty while also emphasizing the darkness of her fate.

Matteson's attention to detail and his ability to convey deep emotion through his brushwork make "Ophelia" a significant piece in his oeuvre. The painting reflects the Romantic era's fascination with themes of love, madness, and the sublime, as well as the period's interest in Shakespearean subjects. "Ophelia" stands as a testament to Matteson's skill in capturing complex psychological states and his contribution to American art in the mid-19th century.

The painting is part of the collection at the Memorial Art Gallery of the University of Rochester, where it continues to be appreciated by art enthusiasts and scholars. Through "Ophelia," Matteson not only pays homage to Shakespeare's timeless character but also explores the universal themes of human emotion and tragedy.
